Been there almost 3 months, barely a day goes by when they don’t ring to ask you to do overtime.
I have just been off on annual leave for a few days and I was contacted by them almost every day by different office staff, even though they knew I was off, asking if I can come in during my annual leave and they will give me alternative days off.
I said no, and apparently they have tried the same thing with another colleague who’s off.
There is a particular office staff member who will literally call 7 times in a row before you answer.
I’m the only current full-time staff member as the others have children or other commitments, but I’m sick of constantly being asked to do more. It’s a zero hours contract, but part of me worries that if I say no every time they will start giving me less hours.
They have recently employed two new staff, but one has rang in sick twice despite only being here 2 weeks, and the other keeps taking days off after being here for just over a month.
It’s annoying that they keep such unreliable people and that it falls onto me and others if they don’t want to come in. They are so short-staffed it’s unreal.
The other day I wasn’t meant to be in until 2pm, but they called me 4 times at 7:30am to ask if I could work.
I really like the work itself, just sick of the constant messaging. They ring both my personal and work number so feels like there’s no escape.
I’ve seen another company that pay almost £1 more an hour than mine does. I’m tempted to apply, but worried it will just be the same thing that I experience now.
