Lack of guaranteed hours - contracted 16 but did always work way over that. But it’s a lack of security. Rumours and the bullying: Management did deal with this well initially but then ended up having a really hard time as the bullying got worse because I’d spoken up Someone ended up being let go due to camera footage etc of them being horrible I was blamed and bullying and rumours got worse Manager was needed elsewhere and in his absence I was given a formal verbal warning. I don’t even really know what for other than “being the cause of rumours” … wild rumours and accusations that were about me… that I didn’t know anything about until I was told in the meeting… Apparently it was my fault because I’d made myself a target for it!!!!! On my last day I left two members of staff that I didn’t work with often took me into a small room, closed the door, and took it upon themselves to give me a taking to and take me down a peg which was horrible. It was all based entirely on things that they’d overhead or been “told” by others. Essentially you can work your butt off at coop, but if your face doesn’t fit or others think you’re showing them up by working hard and trying your best - it’s hell. None of your hard work and trying to help others will save you from the bullying and no one will say thank you if you help them out - even when you leave. Not even a good bye or a good luck. Although the person tho gave my “warning” did seem to care about my reason for leaving “you’re not leaving because of that are you”… Wonder why? Addition - Rumours and bad talk even continue after you leave!
