Boss only gives me 8 hours a week. Help!

[iCatch]

i'm a college student and this is my first job. i've been working at this store for 2 months and my boss only gives me 8 hours a week while everyone else gets 12-16. does this mean my boss doesn't like me? i thought if that was the case why doesn't he just fire me?

could it be because i lack experience? what should i do?

Find a 2nd job. Looking at the hours everyone else gets this place is definitely not a full time job kinda place. It's even lower than part time. In a place like this where they don't need people for full time usually those that have been the longest will get the most hours.

Unless your boss always speaks down to you or treats you like sh1t then you have no case.

i thought if that was the case why doesn't he just fire me??

He doesn't fire you because he still needs you.

could it be because i lack experience? what should i do?

More likely its seniority issue or the fact the position you applied for already has a F/T and a P/T working there and you are just getting the leftovers.

Talk to your boss and see whether he has more hours or other jobs available for you in the store and ask him whether he see's any increase of hours in the near future. If the answer is no then its time to start looking for another job.

I agree, try asking genious.

there could be multiple reasons for that icatch..

You could be the newest employee in the store so he feels obligated to give the people that have been there longer more hours

Your availability might limit your boss from scheduling your for more hours.

Your experiences , maybe other employees do the job better.
