:eek: they are so unfair, do they have no sense of loyalty to good workers? if you leave it's their loss, but for the moment it's yours because it's a headache having to find another job.

tell them you want more shifts. if they dont listen soon, leave so you can buy your car. no point hanging around when you arent gonna get anything worthwhile out of working there...

It's all about cost cutting.

You see, Our store (not Big W btw) recently employed 4 new employees. They are all 15 (2 boys 2 girls) and they are absolutely hopeless (and they're taking MY SHIFTS!!!!) Now before anybody complains here, when we started, EVERYBODY was new (the store just opened) and we basically had to teach ourselves, and my friend had her 3rd shift of xmas eve... so it's not like THEY are under any undue stress. They have no idea and have to be told 50 times to do something.

you are too expensive for them. I'd find another job where u are more valued!

First thing you should do is turn caps lock off and find the full stop key. Second stop whinging and go find another job. There are plenty of people who would be grateful to even have a job

As I already said I live in a small town where the only ppl that employ are kfc, maccas, big w and woolies, it is very hard to get a job right now cause no places need ppl.
