Basically me and my housemate are employed at the same company and work in the same warehouse, but we have slightly different roles. Same pay/hours and everything. Yesterday it was announced in a meeting that there will be a new nightshift starting sunday night, and anyone whos interested to raise their hands. So we both did. Our names got written down no problem... afterwards however, my supervisor (different to mates) tells me as I'm on probation I'm not eligible for it. Now I was annoyed because they always say when advertising new jobs inside whether or not probationers are allowed. They only say if they aren't, and obviously the guy who wrote our names down knew we were and nothing was said. All good. BUT I go and tell my mate I can't do it (Hes on exactly the same probation period as me) and he goes a bit nuts too. We go to his supervisor and he says to my mate "If thats Robs decision then George can't do it... I'm fine for you to do it though Dan".
As far as I'm concerned this is far from fair....being members of the Union... ;) We go put in a complaint. I'll hear back later when I go in as to whether I get nightshift, fingers crossed as I hate my current job!
