Thanks for your review. It’s good to hear you’ve had positive experiences with your manager and working hours overall. We understand that repeated weekend shifts can feel challenging, and we aim to balance rotas fairly based on availability and operational needs. If you feel your rota isn’t reflecting your availability, we’d encourage you to speak with your manager so it can be reviewed.
