Ive just got a new job, ive been working there for a week now.
Its a Shop that sells Automotive parts and things to do with cars and cheap little accessories like car air fresheners.
I would imagine it would be the Equivalent of your Halfords.

Now when i got the job a month or so ago(The store wasnt open yet) It was all good.
All the staff that got hired had meetings so we would get to know each other and the owners.
We got told we would be getting paid around $20AUD an hour(Around 8.5 pounds) or there abouts depending on our age.
I thought Bloody Great!, Thats around $800 a week.
Last monday we started to set up the store for opening which is next week. All was goodish exept for not having any day time too my self due to traveling to work and the times i worked.

Then we got Paid on thursday.
And it turns out we have all not been paid what they said we would :mad:
I make $12AUD an Hour :mad: (Around 5 GBP)
Now i was really ****** off when i found that out but ive kept quiet and only really talked about it with other staff who arnt too pleased them selves.

Then today happned.

I originally got a letter when i first got the job from them saying.

Congratulations Mr Zip we are offering you a part time Position in our store.


Now part time would mean I get 10 paid sick days a year and 4 weeks paid annual leave.

But today When talking to one of the owner me and another staff member were told We were only Casuals :eek:
Which Means we get paid more per our then Full timers or part timers but that means bugger all on my wage :rolleyes:

But Being a bloody Casual Means i dont Get Sick days or annual Holidays :mad:
I wouldnt mind if i had a decent wage in the first place but this is ******* ********

I even do the same amount of hours as Full timers!

So now i dont think its worth me working there and having to travel there.
Im getting very frustrated and losing all motivation for the Job.

Im thinking about leaving But the store doesnt open until next monday.

So should i wait awhile or leave as soon as i find something else?
 
Well this is a blast from the past :p

And I still hate that place and have only ever gone in 2 or 3 times since I left! :p
 
Did you actually start the job?
How long did you stay?

I need closure.


I stayed for 3 months. Bloody horrible! Got some cheap toys with the staff discount though.

I have since done a job picking strawberries that i left after 2 days.

3 months assembing power points on night shift.

2 years in a quarry which i would never go back to if it was the last job on earth :mad:

And now im currently a vineyard/winery and been there for 12 months to the da which isn't a bad job. Just not my dream.

Hoping to finally be in the army in a few months :)
