You are quite right but the fact is the job has just gone down the pan!. I try to tell people not to leave and stay for E.V.R but most have gone on to better job's and have had enough of this place the modern day equivalent of the workhouse!. :shock:

The only reason I'm not actively seeking other employment is because I like being a nuisance and winding up the management :nana :nana :nana

In my smallish DO , since the PEC vote big exodus. TOTAL workforce = 40 , left 3 , long term sick =3 ,one looking desperately for medical retirement and three with job interviews pending. these are the ones i know of , so 25% gone or going even before the changes are voted on. Could be unusual but somehow i doubt it. RM must be rubbing their hands with glee. Sorry if it sounds depressing but it is what it is.
General attitude of leavers seems to be "theres no point flogging a dead horse"
Just one practical consequence of our executive recommending this agreement. For this reason alone I think it is justifiable to condemn our unions actions as tacticaly flawed

Just a quick question: if you do a walk to cover for someone, is that classed as overtime? If not overtime, what is it classed as?
