My employers are being rubbish at the moment. I'm on a one-year contract and really need work next year (employers know this)because we can't manage on one wage. But because we're merging with another firm, every single person from both firms on a permanent contract gets priority over me. I know that this is not surprising but before the merger I was pretty much guaranteed work. Now I have to wait hopefully to see if there's anything left once everyone else had taken what they want. I work so hard and I know I'm good at my job but that doesn't matter - because I'm on a one-year contract I can't sue for unfair dismissal so I'm bottom of the heap regardless. My line-mamager talked to me today about offering my responsibilities to someone from the other firm so casually, like he was offering her a biscuit or something, not my livelihood.
I know there're no solutions but I'm so tired of waiting for the axe to fall and desperately trying not to cry at work . I've looked for other posts but there's nothing out there in my field for part-timers in my area...
So I just needed to unload. Thank you for listening!
