Finally finished training for my new job. That's a story in itself, for another category, but here's my question: I was told when I was hired that my designation was such that I would get 0-16 hours per week (not seasonal, but not regular part-time either). I was okay with that. As a result of this designation (there are many new people with the same designation) we get no health benefits at all.
Now I've been told by two people (although not confirmed by anybody in authority) that this maximum of 16 hours a week ONLY applies to weekDAYS. They can and will also give you shifts on weekENDS, that will take you over that 16-hour "maximum," but ... we are still not eligible for benefits (unlike the regular part-timers).
So ... am I justified in feeling that this mega-corporation has found yet another way to screw its employees?
This is one of multiple issues I have with this place, although give my difficulties in finding work over the past few years, I'm not going to quit over it -- at least, not until I've got something else lined up. Other issues will go in another post.
