FULL TIME!!
Hi,
Just a quick question, why RM does not offer a full time position anymore? No one could survive with 25hrs a week and what are chances of getting a full time position?
Many thanks.

Re: FULL TIME!!
Quite simple, it saves RM money and runners coming in 1 hour early to do work for free doesn't help things either.

Re: FULL TIME!!
Been here nearly 6 years and not a sniff of f/t.
Keeping us on p/t and pro rata holidays, sick pay, pension etc makes more sense financially to RM.

Re: FULL TIME!!
If you stick to 25 hours and refuse to work over for free, they would be forced to either make you full time or offer you overtime to make up the difference.

10 years not a sniff ft hours
Then they say you can't work for a competitor
To make hours up
It's a joke

They can't stop you from working for a second employer that is NOT a competitor.

We've regularly had people made up from P/T to F/T in our office, both post and pre revision.

Re: FULL TIME!!
They have agreed to keep a %75 ratio of full time so as people leave they should give out full time contracts but I don't see them sticking to that agreement in a million years
