Kontras
I've only been here for 4 months and I've had problems with this company since the day I started. I began as a courtesy clerk at 10 hours a week - if that. I must have called the store about 4 times a week for a full month, asking for hours. Since then, I've worked as a cashier, in the floral department, in the Starbucks kiosk, and was transferred to the "Safeway.com" department in mid-August at 40 hours. Working in ".com" is stressful, there is favoritism of lazy workers, and my hours were cut again, this time below 30. I was told that this was due to "seniority" in the department. I can't stay on the health insurance with less than 30 hours. I am entirely fed up with the cuts on my hours. I can't live on what this job is giving me. I really tried to stick with it, but to deal with issue after issue is not worth the headache.
