    Default Work dilemma

    Stuck in a situation at work and I honestly don't know what's best to do.
    I've been there over a year and after a few months of starting my manager was impressed with me and put me on some supervisor training courses,
    Ive completed all of them about 2 months ago.

    But as I was still doing the courses the company decided to re-structure and made 2 supervisors redundant.
    So I'm left with being trained and doing a supervisor job as it is now, but without the money and as much as I appreciate all the experience in the back of my head I think of the extra money I should be on.


    Shall I stay and wait for a position to arise or move on to another store?
    Place were I currently work is ideal as it's a 2 minute walk to get there.

    Have you officially been temp graded in to cover the supervisor work? If so they should either be supplementing your wage whilst you do it, or at least give you a very short term end date for the work

    If you haven't officially been tasked to do the role, tell them to shove it

    Im not on the books as a supervisor, no.

    I'm still employed as a CSA (Customer Service Assistant)
    But i do ordering, cash, everything a supervisor does.
    I would tell them to stick it but at the same time like I say I appreciate all the experience as it'll pay off one day.
    The extra pay is almost £2 more an hour so its quite a diffrence

    Ask them to either pay you to do it or advertise the position, in which case you should apply for it and then have a very good chance of being selected.

    The position isn't there tho, as 2 were made redundant.
    So I'm waiting at the moment to see of a position arises, or whether to find a new job.

    They cant make you a supervisor as there isnt a position available, they arent allowed by law for at least twelve months, consider yourself lucky you still have a job, and stop fecking moaning!

    As unfair as it sounds, just keep your head down and get on with it.

    Due to unforeseen circumstances at work, I have gone from having the usual basic responsibilities (safe working etc) to being in sole charge of CNC Turning and having huge amounts of extra responsiliblity dumped on me in terms of organisation and day to day running of our department within the company. My wage is the same, Im just hoping the experience and extra duties will pay off one day.

    Spud I know I'm lucky to have a job, but it's far from moaning, I'm after opinions not after idiotic posts..

    And Rich, seems the same situation. I'm just banking on all this experience I get from doing the extra work will pay off, whether it's in this job or another. But I hate being taken for granted and I don't want to be stuck in a catch 22 were they'll never think of making me supervisor if im doing the work for the pay I'm on now.
