Promoted to casual with little follow-up communication

Christmas casual/sales assistant

Pros

Good Work and life Balance

Cons

I worked at Strandbags as a Christmas casual and was later emailed a contract to convert to casual employment. However, after only a few additional shifts, I stopped receiving rostered shifts from December 2024 onward. Despite not being rostered for a long period, I remained in the staff group chat without any communication regarding my employment status. I would have appreciated clearer communication or confirmation about whether my employment had ended rather than being left uncertain. Overall, my experience involved poor communication and a lack of professionalism regarding rostering and employment updates.
