[QUOTE="Lisa Lane-Collins, post: 215834, member: 2967"] In brief, I got an aspiring young tech an internship at a place I work and now she’s my manager. Even in ranking to the original manager more or less (they are meant to be interchangeable) and she’s been given the rostering to do. There used to be 3 techs and the hours were shared evenly. This month there are many more hours and she’s brought her boyfriend and uni friend in to swell the ranks of the crew. Next month’s roster is out and there are a few more hours than usual but she’s given 20 of them to her friends. Because it’s so busy, us initial 3 techs are close to the hours we would usually get but if these two new people hadn’t been added to the roster then we would have benefited from the extra hours. Having to the share the work between 3 already kind of sucked now it’s being split between 5, 3 people with years of experience under their belt, and two manager friends who are just starting out. (And may be being given hours so they can practice….if they are that fresh they should be doing work experience surely?!) Anyone have any advice? Is there even anything I can do or is it time to cut my losses? What I’d like is to get more hours when there are more hours going (we sure as hell lose hours when shifts get cut). Now a wise friend did suggest ‘commit to excelling at this job and then ask for more hours’ which is great advice but I have already been committing to excelling at it for the last year because of being (unofficially) in competition with the other two original techs. And what that has yielded is now 20 hours are going to uni students (getting experienced tech pay). [/QUOTE]
