Hey guys!
I've been offered a full-time job at my local McDs (well, I
think I have, anyway: no one has actually explicitly said "You've got the job", but I got an email saying "Congratulations" and I've got a welcome meeting on Friday, which, as far as I can tell, means I probably have... although it would have been nice if they'd actually thought to mention it
), but there's something I'm a bit worried about & I'm hoping you can help.
I know that McDonalds doesn't have fixed hours each week, and I've heard a lot of horror stories of people who sign a full-time contract and then end up only getting, like, one 4 hour shift a week or something. Which would be half of what I'm getting on JSA at the moment, which is barely enough to live on as it is
Don't get me wrong, I hate being on jobseekers (and I only have been for two weeks!!) and really want to take the job, but I worry about hardly getting any hours and ending up financially even worse off than I am now! Is there really nothing in your contract to stop this sort of thing from happening, and is it really as common as people have been telling me? Why do they call it a full-time job if it's not?
Ahh, I'm probs panicking over nothing, but... yeah! Any tips or advice or anecdotes or whatever would be muchly appreciated
