[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1326003, member: 17713"] Zero hour contracts... they don't help!! Colleagues can be less helpful sometimes in their attitudes but I got full time shift work when I was working which enabled me to never have an appt in work hours. When I was finding full time management was difficult I started self employed and working for myself. My colleagues always saw me doing extra hours and in early, staying late, my longest shift was I think 27hours when our computer system failed for Waitrose pre easter!! I went home for 6 hours and then back in and a further 18 hours. When the system and stores and cusomers were all happy I slept for 23 hours solid..... Full time jobs are out there, some of it is I'm afraid down to thinking of others, as well as expecting people to think of our needs...ie if you had a day iff in week did you try to book appointments for that day etc. Employers and employees do have to consider reasonable adjustments etc under equality act. There are understanding people etc, full time hours etc [/QUOTE]
