Zero hours contract?
I believe it means they will call you when they want you to work, but wont guarantee 25 hours a week ect. It will make it much harder for already struggling casual workers to make ends meet.
Sounds very bad, unemployed but not.
so like uber but worse
it predates Uber. Most teenagers are on 0 hour contracts so they can only work weekends and/or evenings around school/college/uni
most people working the shitty jobs are not teenagers
yes that doesn’t change my statement giving context to another side of life in Britain that people may not be familiar with if they don’t live there.
this isnt happening just in britain
I’ve never heard the phrase “zero hour contracts” outside of the uk?
my clarification that it’s different from uber is important because in the UK zero hour contracts are still subject to different tax processes and employment law than being self employed.
Oughta be illegal. Fire them or don’t.
UK term for no minimum hours guaranteed.
Sad truth is stores like these will be obsolete soon. They already have to operate on thin margins, but with most game sales going digital, there will be less demand for brick and mortar game stores. The existence of online stores like Amazon make their outlook even worse.
That’s a great way to replace quality worforce with useless workforce.
A graceless way for them to close
