Should I Start Looking For A New Job?

[abbeylee90]

Basically my hours have been cut in selco to 24 hours for 4 weeks as I am not grasping the products with it becoming summer it is getting busy and they can't have another cashier with me so if I don't grasp within 4 weeks won't be able to have me as a cashier. I am very upset as I enjoy it.

Good Morning Abbey,

My parents used to say to me "if your friend jumped off a cliff, would you"?

In other words just because that girl took time off to get her nails done doesn't mean you should.

Yes when you are established and not under probation and you have accrued a decent amount of leave and a good reputation then perhaps.

But for now you should concentrate on becoming a good member of staff.

I'm on 10 hours atm 

[Neveracrossword]

'At the minute', Abbey? I thought it was 27 hours and then 10 the following week? I know your boss said he'd try to give you more hours, but those aren't certain. I think you'd struggle to live on 27 hours never mind being back on 10. That didn't work out last time!

PS To 'be appreciated' you have to do things worth appreciating, you have to be the kind of employee that any company would be delighted to employ. There's still time for you to show Selco that you're worth keeping, worth a full-time contract and so on.

then why on earth would you request time off for a haircut?

make a hair appt, and if you find you are rota'ed on at that time, cancel the appt and make another.  Then if you find you are on for that appt, change the appt again.  Lather rinse repeat

Hair you gotta plan in advance 

[naomi24]

Abbey, I'd hazard a guess that practically every woman who works there goes to the hairdressers.  Ask them how they manage to fit it in.

Abbey, there are many things that need planning in advance...some more important than others. Hair is not at the top of the list. This is one of life's lessons...which you need to learn. Stop finding reasons to put unimportant things at the top of the list.

I would have booked for the Saturday but hairdresser don't work then. A girls got cover so she could get her nails done.

I made mistake today but manager if ever unsure they will help me.

Good Afternoon Abbeylee90,

Every hairdresser I have ever been too works on a saturday as it is their busiest day.

[calmck]

Did the girl who is getting her nails done change her shift with someone else? You said"she got cover"

What is the manager unsure about helping you with? The mistake you made or changing your hours.

Please read your posts to see if you think they are clear to other people

[abbeylee90]

Yes but they nearly told her she had to do it but she had it off as she kicked up a fuss.

Suprivisor I meant about the mistake.

[calmck]

Was the mistake serious

[abbeylee90]

Charging someone for wrong items but was corrected 

[naomi24]

Abbey, I've never known a salon to be closed on Saturdays.  Ever.  Many work late nights Thursdays and Fridays too - and some early mornings. You really have to understand that your job doesn't fit around your social life.  If you don't knuckle down and stop messing around  you will be out of work again.

[abbeylee90]

No mine don't work Saturdays. I don't normally work Saturday but I did to make up my time.

I am trying.

[naomi24]

Change your hairdresser.

[abbeylee90]

I've been going there for many years and one day I might have work a Saturday 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, if you get kept on, do you really intend to book a day off every time you want your hair done? And that won't be easy if your hairdresser is so busy, so popular and you don't know your shifts far enough in advance. Will you expect your employers to fall in with your plans every single time? You want to show them you're an employee worth keeping - not one who wants things arranged to suit them!

[newmodarmy]

Well if you work only 10 hours a week for a while you may not be able to afford a hairdresser soon.

[abbeylee90]

I know but needs doing so gotta make sure I get to pick enough hours for then.

Someone had an investigation with retail loss and there been thefts so wonder why people's hours been cut.
