Even if you are, they still need to share hours around equally IMO. They don't always do this at my store, and its a bit frustrating sometimes when everyone else gets all the hours, and you only get what your contracted.Well I went into longlife for the day. Apparently it was all my fault and the other supervisor who rocked up now hates me. We were both getting supervision though to make it fair. She ended up supervising despite me being much better than her, she would have been hopeless in longlife.
Yeah, they're being pretty skimpy on it now it sucks.For the past two weeks all my shifts have been cancelled
Time to start looking for a new job.
No RSA, should I get one? I'm not regster trained either, would it be worthwhile trying to get trained? And how would I go about this?Register trained and do you have your RSA?
No lol, it doesn't work like that, not at my store anyway. Some supervisors are contracted to various day/night supervision shifts. The person contracted to Sunday day now does Duty Management, hence why I now do Sunday days. I'm the person that does Sundays, hence why my manager rostered me on, the SM gave her the shift as he assumed nobody else was doing it. He didn't tell the CSM that she is doing it, hence why we were both put on.Even if you are, they still need to share hours around equally IMO.

It's a pickle at the moment. Actually, it' a mess. Basically one of the contracted supervisors started doing duty. So the SM (store manager) is constantly stealing her for duty, this means that the CSM is constantly running around trying to replace her shifts. This isn't the first time our supervisors have been taken for duty (leaving us with lack of svr's).SM is store manager right? why would they do that without contacting the CSM? One of the worst things about almost all woolworths stores is the fucking lack of communication.
Is it that hard just to talk to someone?
I was just suggesting how to try and find a few more hours. Registers could be an option. My brother quite often works a couple of hours registers before helping out nightfillBasically, for register training, just ask the service manager, and also mention you're keen for hours. If you've got good availabilities it might help.
(Not much point getting an RSA til you're comfortable on register, as in liquor there won't be someone as close by to help)
I haven't done it whilst someone was serving but i have done it to annoy the liquor staff member once. I'd look over and see that they'd walked away from their register to fill a fridge or something and i'd log them off.EDIT: Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried force-logging someone off in the middle of a transaction? Like accidentally, or anything? Just wondering what would happen... haha
Hrm, due to uni I mostly can only work in the evening. Someone else suggested that I try to get shifts in deli or seafood as it's easier and less stressful than checkouts. Anyone here work in those departments?Basically, for register training, just ask the service manager, and also mention you're keen for hours. If you've got good availabilities it might help.
