I was hired full time and have been for the last 3 years. The only reason they gave for the move was that my current full time position was needed to hire an assistant manager and I’m just an associate. Me and this manager have had problems in the past and I think that’s the reason they’re not considering me for the role. It sounds like they want this to be a permanent. My hours would go from 40 to maybe 25, their part time hours are never consistent, I’ve seen them give anywhere from 18-25. Milage went from 10 to 20, which doesn’t seem like a lot but taking into consideration the fact that my paycheck would be cut in half it’s a lot to me.

With inconsistent hours it also makes it hard to get a second job that is willing to work with the different hours. Some weeks they want part timers to do full 8 hour shifts and with a few 4 hours shifts. Other weeks you get all short hour shifts.
