looking for part-time work and getting really fed up with it.
It's such a disgrace what potential employers offer... there's such a discrepancy in wages it makes me cry!
For a job that as a full-time position would pay lets say 27k per year the part-time variation would be 23k pro rata per year! WTF. It's still the same job! but it seems people (i.e. mainly mothers) who want part-time work are being taken advantage off because they want part-time work.
Then again 1/2 the time I don't even get considered because I'm too experienced. FFS I wouldnt' apply for a position if I weren't happy to do it!
then of course the question 'why don't you want full-time' erhem I've got 2 small children and childcare would ruin me. But then of course as soon as you mention small children... door closes. Not officially for that reason of course but...
Sorry had to rant as I'm getting majorly p'd off...
