DO sorting.
Today i got pullled of my walk to be kept in the office sorting mail. Im the floater for 5 duties and the floating duty is my duty which ive singed for. I never wanted to do this but was told i had no choice as its what the business requires bullshit. Does my manager have the right to pull me from my walk?????
