Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 1:47 pm Post subject: Increased Working hours |
|
|
I work part-time for 4 hours. i find it comfortable
i don't have any friends at workplace
so whenever they make a group and hangout i am left out
but since its only 4 hours i don't mind much and neither i am hurt or depressed
too much
but now my supervisor says that they plan to cut off 4 hours and increase our
time to 6 hours
i feel that will worsen situation for me.
i will have to sit alone more hours
get bored alone for more hours
and many times i have to take my son with me to office
when he as a day off at school
so more time for my son
overall i want to avoid this more hours thing
what should i do??? _________________ The only thing right in this wrong world is

There's not a lot you can do I think.
You have a son so you need a job to provide for him. I would def think about looking at other jobs seeing if you can find something better or finding some coping mechanisms to get through work.
The usual work day is 8 hours, so your still working less than that.  |

The last job I had (which was over 10 years ago) was supposed to be part time but during a school break they had me working full time and doing different things then I normally did and other people were there that weren't normally there so within a few days I couldn't take it any more, told them I quit, and I never went back.
When I hear relatives talking about having "mandatory overtime" at their job it sickens me. If I had a job pull that on me I wouldn't do it and either let them fire me or quit. |

i guess i will keep tripping their questions about being switching to 6 hours and incase i am uncomfortable i will just continue with 4 hours _________________ The only thing right in this wrong world is

| I honestly don't want to sound harsh, but with so many people these days out of work I wouldn't really complain about a 2 hour increase in your shift. |
