the company famous hates full timers and yet part timers are notoriously undependable particularly up front and in meat. there's been a few days where if we didn't have full time people nobody would've come to work.
i see mornings, nights and even overnights in the same week, shifts closer than allowed by contract and all that but only for a couple of us full timers who are told "you're full time you've got to work it" while other full timers get their preferred scheduling.
there's also the old "you have to stay" followed with "no overtime." it makes me want to throw things.
TBH I'm at the point where I'll cut my approved OT for mental health.
then there's those part timers getting to change availability far more often than contract allows which is once every six months. we have one girl who seems to have a new availability every other week. it's just bull****.
how is this sustainable or any definition of success? but then we see the new bonuses...
I think they just hate us all. I'm a part-timer, and I see full-timers getting the favorable shifts, less slack on them, etc. I knew a woman who said it took her NINE YEARS to get full-time status, and I knew one who just ended up quitting after getting passed up on a full-time position by someone with less seniority.
They are full-timers for a reason. They cut their teeth in their departments and now get respect for it, be it set schedule, better off days, etc. I was hired as a full-timer so I can't speak as a part-timer, but I've heard enough crap from my staff to know how it feels.
