I work at a cinema. Opening hours are reduced. HQ is asking full time staff to take leave to open up hours for casuals. Management has made shifts as short as possible (3hrs) so everyone can get a little work. There’s just not enough hours though, so everyone gets 1 week on 1 week off (i.e. 3hrs every 2 weeks). Management is reaching out to supermarkets in our shopping centre to see if they’ll hire some of our staff. I have some savings and live rent free with parents so I’m ok for the moment, but if this continues for months I’m concerned about being able to afford medication and car registration.
