-- Posted by Anonymous at 1:09 pm on June 30, 2009 I'm 17 and i only usually get 2 to 3 days a week of work. My second week I was working I got 4, now its 3 or 2. Is this fair? I work at a supermarket. -- Posted by Eos at 1:10 pm on June 30, 2009 It's not fair and it's really not okay -- Posted by Karen18 at 1:10 pm on June 30, 2009 How many hours? Of course it's fair, they can give you as much work as they fucking want to. -- Posted by no day but today at 1:10 pm on June 30, 2009 What do you mean, is it "fair"? They can give you as many or as few hours as they want. -- Posted by deuces13 at 1:10 pm on June 30, 2009 its not fair, looks like they found a way to replace you -- Posted by Anonymous at 1:11 pm on June 30, 2009 I get 4 and 5 hour shifts, sometimes 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 hour shifts. -- Posted by audibleSIN at 1:11 pm on June 30, 2009 Quote: from CrimsonVoid at 1:10 pm on June 30, 2009 It's not fair and it's really not okay Wow, I got that reference almost immediately.   -- Posted by xoAllixs0n at 1:11 pm on June 30, 2009 You should be getting more. I used to work at least 5 days a week when I worked at a supermarket. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 1:11 pm on June 30, 2009 This has nothing to do with fair, it's what there is. You get however many hours of work they assign to you, that's their choice. If you want more hours go and talk to your supervisor. -- Posted by Rachelw at 1:24 pm on June 30, 2009 Talk to your supervisor. In the beggining of your job you were trained and it took time. They say practice makes perfect there for you have practiced and its someone elses turn at those hours. -- Posted by SingDanceRunLife at 7:42 pm on July 2, 2009 Is it fair? Sure. You're working 2 or 3 days a week, so 10-15 hours. For a 17 year old, that's not bad. It's true that it's summer and you can work more, and probably want to, but there are other people who need hours too. If you want more, talk to your supervisor. I work at Best Buy. When I first started, I got like 20 hours a week. When I went to school, I was still getting 12 or so...then it got decreased to 4-8 (one or two shifts a week after school). This lasted for quite some time. My supervisor never gave me more even though I asked her. She always gave them to other people. That wasn't fair. But now, there's a different supervisor, it's summer again, and I generally work 32 hours a week (four 8 hour shifts) because I said to give me as many as there are available.
