Rate dilution bait and switch

[Unix]

Started a new role where the rate was higher than my previous one. I assumed the same hours per day but the new one in an extra hour which dilutes my rate to less per hour than previous. I didn't find out about the hours per day until I arrived. There are also other issues I am unhappy with which could constitute breach (role uses different tech to what I use and what is stated on my contract). Is it better to cut and run now without invoicing or hang around for a few weeks to work notice?

What does the contract say?

This is the wrong forum for serious questions. You should ask them in Contracts or Accounting.

How low is your rate that an extra hour makes you want to throw the towel in?

Re the different tech, surely it's not that hard to come to terms with a new type of burger flipper?

Think about it, 5 hours a week extra, it's almost another day. I am at the stage of career where money is less important than conditions.

They pull you up if you take too many breaks.

No brainer then, tell them to stick it up their arse.

Happened to me once. My fault though. The contract said normal working hours - I assumed 40, and found it was 45. B*ggers had a clocking in system as well. Totally idiotic - they thought they'd get more work done, but people just goofed off more.

That's what we did - found a nice cafe round the corner, and had tea there, morning and afternoon. Without clocking off of course.

Simple.

1) Gather your personal belongs
2) Leave

find another role and leave, they are the sort of employer nobody needs.

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