It's disgusting now. |
It seems like this was pretty standard up until maybe 6/7 years ago. All changed now though. In many ways I miss my old student job as a "chef" (of delicious burgers, bangers and mash, and macaroni cheese) - could choose my own hours (as many or as few as I wanted), double time Sundays, 1.5x public holidays... I once worked a 12 hour shift on Easter Sunday, 3x pay, and it was of course easter break in a student bar... Everyone had gone home for the week. I made 4 burgers all day, and read a book. Score! No paid holidays or sick days but yeah... Simpler times...
