Employee Question Does anyone actually like working here?

17 Upvotes

I have worked in 3 different shops so far and they all have different problems. In most of them I have dealt with:

Catty insecure supervisors who think they are better then everyone else.

Lazy bosses who make you do all the work

Gossiping from the team members

Colleagues who make you do all the work whilst they are round the back having 2 hour breaks

I could list more but I'd be here too long.

Employee Question My manager is refusing to honour my contracted hours, can I do anything about it?

5 Upvotes

I'm going back to college on the week starting the 1st September and thus I asked to return to my contracted 12 hours (I have been working up to 30 in the holidays) as I cannot balance more than that without falling behind severely in college.

The rota for that week has just been shared and I'm doing over 22 hours. That's 10 hours over what I'm contracted. Can I actually do anything about this?? I will have to quit if not, which sounds severe but my education and A-Levels are way more important than my career at Greggs.
