The line managers are applying pressure by wrongly telling staff that because of flexibility they should carry on working an extra half hour unpaid past their finishing time everyday.
What a crock , unfortunately some staff feel intimadated about cutting off at the correct time , especially as after cutting off they know they will be brought into the office the following day for an "interview to find out the reasons for the failure".
They have also started testing some individuals sorting speeds on the ips and on their prep frames.
Snap we have had the very same from or DOMs They must be using a guide book or something
The flexibility bit was challanged by our rep who said if its only ten mins to finish then finish but if its half an hour or so then forget it and break off.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Seen relief lino to tell him he just smirked and said everybody has to do lapsing and walked off . Carried on throwing in beat and went back to see him half hour later said ide do lapsing but would need a ruling on my own beat. He looked stunned, moaned and groaned, looked at his watch and said he would have to ring DOM whos at a meeting off site, he handed phone to me to speak to him and DOM said I cant do anything now you should of said earlier. Explained to him that I did and he repeated himself and said you should of said earlier Anyway in the end I had 16th taken of me. The thing that annoys me is you can never have a proper conversation it always ends in confrontation, it does your head in sometimes all as I want to do is work till my time no more no less. Was a car user, used to do my d2drs on my day off and all the short cuts but no more, thats why I cant fit the work into the hours. Executive action in 2 weeks as well in an already overstretched office 51 walks down to 45, was 62 when I started 7 years ago, mind boggling isnt it. Rant over now, off my chest till tommorrow
This has been our first week of lapsing. The manager is close to braking point. People are refusing to use cars, that means managers are having to do pouching off. They have no idea where the boxies are let alone the roads. heard him muttering yesterday "this will never f**cking work".
