PART TIMERS NEED A BREAK

Post by el_cartero »

Any news on the talks?

I hope there is somethign done for part timers! is there???

We come in at 8:30 and have 30 minutes to do alot of the work full timers have all morning to do !

Part timers are treated like s**t and there probably most subject to bullying and horrased to work our days off when the full timers never do that!!! :no no
one day part timers will have the same right as full timers

Not all part timers. I get 2 hours to prep my walk and never get hassled to do overtime. Our office has a list of people who want to do docket and the manager goes to them first.

I can honestly say i have never felt intimidated or pressured to do anything.

And no im nor a DOM or a plant. :angel

Totally agree. Full-time worker's don't want us in the workplace really.

This could be a very destructive post.

I have never had issues with part timers but i do have issues with full time posts being made part time

advice:-

Don't come on like puppies all eager to please

Take your time to see how the office works. Most fulltimers have good reasons for their attitudes/methods and pretty much all have to do with managers approach to industrial relations. Don't let them fool you

It is true in my office, full timers tend to think they are superior to part timers, gets on my wick some times..
Like the other day, they got together and tried saying they should have first choice on picking A/L, never heard so much rubbish.. :mad

advice:
Some of us have been part time and waiting, longer than a lot of full time staff, so it is not what you do it is where you are
