Re: 3 and a half hours !!!!!!
It's a very simple thing, bring people in for 10.5 hours, 3 day week then have them working 8 hours per day, 6 days a week.
Have them begging for the OT and you'll never have to employ them properly just run an office on the never never.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: 3 and a half hours !!!!!!
Think it's cause a lot of people may think that you're on your own on delivery a lot may not know that you can spend a few hours sorting the mail first and I suppose you always get shouters and singers in all offices, might scare some folk !!!Ricky Bruch wrote:Love the way they always so it is a loud noisy atmosphere...
Never had to wear ear defenders in the office doing IPS like I had to do in my previous jobs working on big machinary..'
Who the hell writes this drivel
Also the person writing the ads prob sits in an office where they aren't allowed to talk to each other etc so if they visited a DO they would prob think it was a chaotic and very loud place in comparison to thier silent sterile office
