Rate dilution bait and switch

I've got similar important issues

1. I've got a 1 ear phone headphones rather than 2 I had at my old contract

2. The coffee is 40p a cup here and free and my last place

3. My chair is a different colour


Should I walk ?

Learnt the hard way on this one I have.
Always ask at interview what the expectations are. Otherwise, it ends up like this.
BTW - how many hours are they talking about? Or were? I'd say 37.5 is normal.

I used to think asking would put people off at interview but now I think stuff it it might be a showstopper. For instance, if gig is local then no biggie that its 8 hrs rather than 7.5 NORMALLY. But if its 90 mins drive away then it makes a bit of a difference to whether its doable or not IMHO.

Another good reason to get this confirmed up front is that what's expected from the client, or contracted, is often very different to what happens on the floor. I've worked in many places, contractor and perm, where people stay until 6 every day just because everyone else does and it would be 'seen' to be bad if they left on time.

Ridiculous.

Oh for goodness sake... maybe I should move this back to general so that really appropriate responses can be made. "Employer" indeed.

If they're dictating hours, making contractors clock in/out, and stipulate how many breaks can be taken, that sounds like employment to me

Or a policy which would apply to everyone working on-site and so wouldn't be indicative of employment.

I doubt the cleaners are told how many breaks they can take.
