You're kidding right?
We have no staff now, 1 in 10 is on sick over Xmas, we can't get mail out here, we have customers constantly on our back and are not getting out til 10am. Everyone's Xmas cards,NHS letters and even 1C are not going out.
Not getting out until 10 f**k me wait and see whats coming
We dont start until 8.12am not out doormuch before 11
We're in the same neck of the woods. 0903 start on a Tuesday. That's FT not PT - I started at 8AM when I joined.
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?

Same, well close enough, started at 5, out for 7, duties were supposed to be planned at 2.5 hours but a few were less, 25 years ago and at the time the oldies told me how much better it was in the old days :Very Happy
