Why can't you order them yourself?claretandblue wrote:Been asking my Line manager to order me some shoes for ages, rung up today to c heck, he still hasn't ordered them ! was told on the phone that we are only entitled to 1 pair of shoes a year ! is this right ? why do we have to jump threw hoops just to get the gear we need, i mean its hardly fashionable !
And I thought it was one pair of shoes every TWO years.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: ordering uniform !
I'm on my second pair in six months, just show your manager the worn out pair, mine said fair enough and ordered me another pair.claretandblue wrote:Been asking my Line manager to order me some shoes for ages, rung up today to c heck, he still hasn't ordered them ! was told on the phone that we are only entitled to 1 pair of shoes a year ! is this right ? why do we have to jump threw hoops just to get the gear we need, i mean its hardly fashionable !

Re: ordering uniform !
It's one every six months? When my last pair of Magnum's gave up after an amazing 7 months service
I rang up and asked if I needed authorisation from my manager. Said nope and I got a new pair sent.

Re: ordering uniform !
Probably because they know the Magnums are total sh*te. I wore a pair for one day, nearly killed myself on a patterned concrete drive and binned them. I've got the Cat boots which are really comfortable but a bit heavy, and i've been waiting for the Cat shoes since October.russ0r wrote:It's one every six months?
