Recently, my job has hired two new members, as well as a new supervisor who was given control of the schedule. Without warning, my shifts had been cut by two days a week, while the new hires have 4-5 shifts per week. I tried to talk to the supervisor stating i cannot pay my bills with less than a certain amount of hours per week, but again, today my hours were cut again while the new hires have retained full shifts. I am not the only one however, I've been with the company ten years and another senior member has been there for 25, he has also had his hours cut. He also tried to talk about it and was all but dismissed. We work in food service and as such hour cuts come and go, but not typically to this severity and not when hiring new employees. It feels as if we are going to be fired soon and i am wondering what/if there's anything i can do on my end to at least ensure i receive severance, or my hours are restored.
