You need to move on and find other employment rather than hang around hoping you will get ad-hoc shifts at a restaurant.

Get applying for other jobs, best way to go forward. That is one of the big issues with zero hour contracts. They can work well for osme people who need flexibility, but for someone like you, theyre no good.

Sadly I wasn’t aware it was ad-hoc. I just wish they’d have treated me better.

I hope I can get a job ASAP

Put it down to experience and move onwards and upwards.


All the best.

Think you need to be looking for another job.

Id guess they either have decided they dont like you or money is tight so theyre cutting back on anything they can, those whoare on zero hour contracts (assuming you are) are the first to feel the effects.

If you have contracted hours well theyre breaching it and thus you could seek recompense for the contracted hours. Its hard to think you are on contracted hours as theyd probably choose a different tactic.

How long were they going to keep me guessing? How can I have shifts every week for months, to them not even telling me I won’t be having shifts for two months?

Very sadly, it's based on the customer numbers. The restaurant labour force is the first to go home where I am.

As it's summer and full hours at the mo - I'll be saving on the back of working full hours until Autumn which is when hospitality quietens slightly and or in the event I'll be let go I'll have made my own notice pay.

Maybe now apply for other work but as it's been a few week's work then leave this zero-hours job off as I posted yesterday, not every employer takes to kindly when you say I took on a zero-hours job. Although having said the person who I had to explain every reason for leaving a job and why I would look to leave to yesterday did offer an interview in the end so maybe it's a bit more positive since yesterday.

The OP says they have worked there "every week for months" and it is their only paid job.

So leaving this off a CV or application form would be wrong. First, it is showing employment rather than volunteering (but volunteering is useful too on an otherwise short CV) and, secondly, it would be hiding the truth.

For someone to take on a ZH role is perfectly reasonable when it appears it led to steady work for a number of months.
