My son got a job working at a small supermarket. It’s a big chain, but of smaller stores.
During the interview he was promised 24 hours! But when he got the contract, he was given 8 hours a week. But they assured him that there would be more.
There hasn’t been more. In fact, there’s been less. They change his hours the night before without telling him, e.g. on the Monday afternoon he left work after doing 4 hours and was next due in on Thursday for his next 4 hours…but sometime that evening they swapped his shift to the following morning 6-10am. They did not tell him.
They rang him the next morning to ask where he was and then told him that he’d be put down as unauthorised absence for his second shift. Luckily he had screen shot his rota, so they put him down as authorised instead.
They won’t give him any additional hours. They say they haven’t got them. Yet they keep employing more people? Why?
AIBU thinking that this is a disgusting way to treat your staff. DS is 19 and desperately trying to save for uni.
