What happened to saturday staff

Post by Puppetmaster »

Some time ago previous dom hit on a great new idea (his words ) saturday only staff ,no need to pay overtime out etc.Recruited loads of sat staff,now they all but one have disappeared where?
The one remaining gets work any odd days in the week when neeeded as well.

Also given the recession you would have though people would want overtime as well,can the pay at RM be so great hat people dont need overtime.last week we had so many rounds to cover managers had to do it them selves.

So how come nearly all the Saturday staff have left in times of great recession and people dont want overtime ,including myself ?

When they were begging I asked what would be paid,answer 6 hours.

is their the same problem across the country on Saturdays? .Another point is Saturdays are so busy now,not quiet .

Must admit we had quite a few students used to work Saturdays and the odd extra day here and there, but not seen any in ages.
The question is did they jump or were they pushed ?
