I would like to congratulate myself for successfully pissing off the boss enough for them to issue me with an official written warning. I have no hours and they tried to trick me into signing a resignation on the spot.
How did I piss her off? By asking to be paid the overtime I work every shift.
I guess they expect their staff to to be passive little princesses who work for no money.
So what should I have learned from this experience? To put up with their bullshit in order to keep a job or to stand up for my self with the consequence of a written warning for 'disrespecting authority.'
So, I am unemployed (for the record I quit, I did not get fired) but they basically passive agressivly fired me by terminating my hours completely.

It sounded like a pretty F*#ked place to work, hours worked are hours paid, black and white, simple as that. Having to ask for that is wrong, and getting repremanded for ask is even worse, Did fair trading get back to you??? hope they can help even if your not there anymore still worth pursuing.
I bet now your not there your stress levels will subside some, even though $$ is always a stress factor gotta be better then putting up with the extra bullshit everyday.
You wont need luck for your next job hunt, people would be crazy not to snap you up as an employee.
jacq they can't do that, there has gotta be something that fair trading can do or say about that, they are doing something illegally. surely. hope things sort out jacq
It is illegal. Call Fair Trading, it's easy and not as daunting as you may think. Are you a casual or PT? they may owe you money as well as severance so chase it up. Did you write a resignation letter?
