Michelle


My Michelle has been working hard. She loves the job itself, but is having a few problems.

She is phoned on her day off to come in and work - and she does.
She does several 24hr shifts a week and is, unsurprisingly, very tired and demoralised.
She has worked 6 weekends in a row.

She could put up with that if she felt that Management was playing the game with her. Before she started, she said that she was a Christian and wanted to go to church on Sundays. They promised to send a Relief a bit earlier so she could leave at 10am (after a nightshift that started at 12pm the previous day) and it has never happened. Not only that, but Management is now denying that they made any such undertaking.

They have now called a meeting on Michelle's day off, which is this Friday. She has been told to attend. She is worried because she is still on Probation and they can fire her. She loves the work and does not want to be fired. She just wants to be treated with some consideration in view of the fact that she goes the extra mile and comes in on her day off when asked and works grotty hours and does a lot of the donkey-work. Fair's fair, after all.

She doesn't want "special" treatment.
She simply wants FAIR treatment.
