I'm a customer service supervisor working for Somerfield and I hate it. It's stressful, poorly paid and tiring. I'm being forced to step down as supervisor because they've extended their opening hours and I refuse to work till 9.30pm at night. I'm gonna have to become a (rediculously overqualified) checkout operator instead once I've handed in a letter saying I'm resigning from my post. Pissed off cos it means I'll lose 50p and hour in pay, not much but it's the principle.
Having looked into it I can't dispute the change to my contract because I've worked there for less than a year. If I refuse to accept the change of working hours I will receive 28 days notice of my contrct being terminated, and due to being their for less than a year cannot claim unfair dismissal.
They are the worst company I've ever worked for and I'm still fighting to get a risk assessment out of them. I ended up in tears yet again yesterday cos the manager was putting pressure on me to either work until 9.30pm, step down or resign from the company completely.
I'm planning on starting maternity leave at 34 weeks, just cos I hate it there so much.
Definately not going back after mat leave finishes, I'm learning to drive so I can commute to Aberdeen, and go back to my usual profession of working in Administration. I worked for a University for 3 years and really miss the public sector
Sorry for the long post but I'm fuming at them, evil, manipulative
