After my mat pay finished, i left my full time job as a care assistant for the elderly and took a saturday job at a bakery, just to tide me over til the new year, when i planned on looking for something more permanant and better suited to my childcare needs.
I have been at the bakery for 4 weeks, all was going well, but my best friend who also works there, is due back off mat leave tomorrow. Basically she couldnt afford to keep us both on. And it appears its last in first out. I wouldnt of minded if i had been told it was just short term, or to fill in when people were off sick/on annual leave, but she didnt employ me on those terms. I was under the impression it was a permanant position every saturday. Im so annoyed that ive been left short, 12 hours before im due to start my shift. She has known for 9 months the date in which my friend would be returning.
Unfortunately no contract was every drawn up, so im left jobless and pennyless with no leg to stand on!
Gutted.
