try this.
im part time, worked at this place for 3year.
done a shed load of hours each school/college holiday (40hrs a week) i normally do 20hr a week, so its more than 16part time hrs
there is 3 part timers that have been there for 3yrs plus.... we've seen full time members come and go, take weeks on end off sick, be lazy... show no commitment.
so basically the part timers have ran the place
got 2 new fulltime members in last week, they have walked in on 60p more than us an hour.... and we are training them up to "run" the place.
our 2nd chef is on the sick...AGAIN. who is on £2 an hour more than us (p.s. she has had 47days off sick since march)
we talk to our manager, cant give out pay rises because the area manager wont allow it, but he can allow people just walking straight in on a lot more than us... who have showed loyalty, commitment, coped when the staff has been low on numbers because we've had loads of staff just come in and leave.
so me n richard (the other part timer) are handing our notices in on the same day. oh well
