Ooo I'm stuffed, but not exhaustipated. Mostly weighing and packing frozen food, and chipping in in production where needed. I like finishing at 2.30-3.00pm, I can still enjoy the arvo and I don't feel shitty about being on the phones because I didn't even see a single phone today looool just three of us weighing and packing for our lives
Also no regrets about the boots, especially with the "tradie" socks I bought, super comfy, barely an inconvenience.
Did get a lil sus when my pack room supervisor said it was a trial shift. I think she was mistaken, as far as my contract is concerned, I am an employed casual lol
Yay! Just watch your dates. Boyo got culled 3 days before the required to switch from casual to perm.
Oooof brΓΌtal π that's so farked!
And yes I will! I've been reading up on my rights as a casual, I've never been casual before so I need to know ofc. I suspect I'll be alright, my coworker has there almost a decade, but I'll definitely be wary of that thank you! π
Also I'm glad your boy got a new job! Give him my congrats!
Yeah, fucked is right. Every single casual and half the apprentices in one day apparently.
May yours be all sunshine & sparkly things
ee glad to hear it went well :)
Eeeee! Now I'm Shift Beggar Spud, gimme shifts and I'll pack that food so damn good πͺπͺ
Get yourself some bamboo tradie boot socks next time you get some. Your feet will love you for it
Ohhh good idea! I'll note that down for things to charge my job provider for π
Yay! I'm glad it went well!
