Part timers doing full time, snow problems

[Xr4]

I'm a part timer, I support the seniority thing as managers show favoritism to certain people to give them more overtime. If a part timer signs up for PT round as it was the only one avaliable and doesn't get the chance to do overtime, why should they be penalised and miss out on overtime to a manager's favourite?

Overtime isn’t given out on seniority, is it? Isn't it the upgrade to a f/t contract from p/t?

In most cases the managers “favourite” will be the guy/gal that has put in the hours on o/t in the past to clear the office for them, why shouldn’t they be rewarded with an upgrade to f/t?

I’m one of the new ones in my office and the only o/t I’m ever offered is to work on later to clear the office when it’s really busy, the “favourites” as you call them are always given o/t first, however I think this is fair as they have obviously earned it, same with the part timers that come in early to prep, a couple in my office that are in doing f/t hours every day and deserve an upgrade to f/t, however there’s more senior part timers than them in the office who would jump at f/t but refuse any kind of o/t whatsoever. So I think it would be unfair for the ones who don’t want to work o/t to be made full time and the one’s who do want o/t lose the hours they’ve been regularly getting.

That’s how I see it anyway, I’m just fortunate enough that I was looking for p/t work when I took the job, maybe if I was looking for f/t I’d see it differently.

I presume from your post you are having difficulty getting o/t? Have you made your availability for o/t clear to your manager?

My understanding is that this is a national issue. Never the less, the responses above are pathetic. I can't believe people would abandon their colleagues so easily.

I understand you are upset and mad about the situation but calm down with the 'pathetic' comments regarding users who have taken the time to reply to you.
