Re: NO CANTEEN ,NO TIME TO EAT EITHER!
Can i ask guys how big are your offices?
Are there big enough numbers to warrant a canteen facility at your offices? Or are you for example small SPDOs?

Re: NO CANTEEN ,NO TIME TO EAT EITHER!
We have a canteen ,but due to the changes we had three years ago we dont have the budget for a staff and as we changed to job and finish they stopped it due to lack of customers.We have vending machines,crisps,chocolate,e.t.c. Vending machine for coke,diet coke and a coffee machine.
Over 200 staff.We do have a local burger bar which we can order from if you want hot food.But as no one takes a break as we dont have any time due to the changes you end up either eating your food at your frame or on the IPS (they havent stopped this yet!).So the days of 40 min breaks have gone.I know people will say take your 20 mins before going out,but believe me when you get the new pegasus and start times implemented you realy dont have any time left!

I do its just the rest of the muppets in my office dontwanchope123 wrote:well you take the break and cut off!!
To be honest they've made the problem themselves,infact most will vote NO in the ballot as they think as we have implemented the changes that they'll be ok in the future! But as we dont have a union rep they will be in for a big shock when we're working 8-5 mon -sat !

You are right that is a disgrace that you have no hot food and your office needs to do something about it.
