Perhaps I'm just being cynical, but part of me sees a direct correlation between me getting two payrises at work at the same time, and suddenly being rostered with fewer and fewer shifts.
Firstly I've been there over six months, so at the start of this month I was moved up to the standard wage instead of the training wage where I've been up until now. Also, national industrial relations reform also increased the standard minimum wage in the restaurant industry sector (though I still find it odd that Maccas is classed as a restaurant) meant another pay rise at the same time.
On paper this all looks fantastic - a decent rate an hour plus the uniform allowance, but when I suddenly go from four or five shifts a week to one, or even none, it doesnt particularly help me a lot.
Still, lots of squeezing of the managers and Ive scrounged a few more shifts here and there... though it reminds me a little of being in Japan, squeezing oompa loompas to get anything done!
