Yeah I get this, but at interview I was told even though it's in our contract, no one on new contracts had been asked to work Sundays ever at our office, but around 11 months into the job our office was asked to put the new contracts on a Sunday rota at a diff depot, so yeah it kinda miffed us all off,
Be very careful, your car insurance might not be valid for that as your main office will be classed as your usual place of work. Most car insurance companies will probably class working at two or more sites as business use.

Sickness will be up this xmas for sure. A lot of offices are around 25-30% staff down already so unless they get two people to two walks which won't happen then tracked and 1C off both duties will be virtually impossible.
In a nutshell this is probably going to be the worst Xmas on record at RM.
Why will sickness be up? Are you one of these people that throws a sickie as soon as things get a bit tough?
Eh??? Two people are already on sick this week because they've had no help at all and they have trays of mail under their fitting so yes Sickness will be up because people's anxiety and mental health have gone through the roof asking to do the impossible. Not everyone is brave enough to stand up to a manager and tell them the finish time.

Just for the record I have had around 6 sick days in the last 10 years. Your clearly either a manager or a manager's pet.
