So i am now working at a higher level ( lecturer) after being a TA for a few years. I want to retrain next September.
However I am on a zero hour contract through an agency. If i dont comr to work i dont get paid.
I have laryngitus and can hardly talk and a whole day of teaching ahead of me. I should stay at home and rest my voice but if i do i wont get paid and wont ve able to pay rent.
It is shite isnt it. I will be dpending tomorrow looking for better contracts and applying to retrain via ucas.plus i only have 9 hours of teaching and have to make up the hours with care work....again on zero hours.
Am i making excuses or are zero hours common now? Am i not working hard enough so that's why i cant progress?
