A little update....

[sindba]

But we shouldn't need to go making agreements with COMs. Work our hours. End of. Start on time and finish on time. Take our breaks. Everyone likes to finish early I get that. But if your finish time was 3pm and you came in earlier than you should have to get finished early and your COM agreed to it but then all of a sudden something goes wrong and all of a sudden your COM has work that needs done and you walk in at 1.30pm. He then tries to send you out again because you have over an hour left until your finish time. Your wee agreement wouldn't hold any water. He's only worried about getting his office cleared not some wee deal he made so you can go home early!

In the case of my office the Com wants to move hours earlier to clear IP as we only have 2 full time members of staff and the part timers cover IP either with agreed OT or by moving times to start early/finish early.

You are a complete windup merchant and you actually get off on it , very strange.

Very strange. And actually this kind of unhinged, attention seeking behaviour can be a red flag for mental health issues, so on reflection maybe we should go easy on him / her?

Up to 3 hours later, have you seen Thurso's proposed start time? 11am, does the criminal executive 'orror and his fellow numpties not realise where Thurso is, and it gets dark really early!

No-one cares about Thurso or anywhere north of Glasgow to be honest. They have no idea what it's like up here. Even when sunrise is at 8.38am we all know that somedays it's still a bit dark then and it can also be dark before 3pm depending on the cloud cover. I'm not as far north as you, I'm in the IV area but we're much and such the same - in the ar$e end of nowhere and forgotten about. Bet you don't have the new uniform either.

In the case of my office the Com wants to move hours earlier to clear IP as we only have 2 full time members of staff and the part timers cover IP either with agreed OT or by moving times to start early/finish early.

Sounds like a little utopian office you work in.

Let us know how your COM gets on dictating to his higher up bosses your great new early start/finish times.

Funnily enough I’ve thought the same for a while. One of the reasons why I didn’t respond with both barrels when he sent me a threatening PM. I’ve actually had him on ignore for ages - but keep seeing his crap via other people quoting it. I was that way out today so took him off the foe list & decided to challenge him on his fairy tales.
As you say,definitely unhinged - poor sod probably believes what he’s posting. Probably thinks Simons his friend

Unhinged! It is Simon using an alias……infiltrating our blogs

[Dorset Plodder]

Put him on your ignore list..... Don't Un-Ignore him ... Stop Quoting him .... Start Ignoring him ....and we'll all live happily ever after!

Life's too full of stress to put up with Dickheads.

I've had him on "ignore" for ages but I don't agree with personal insults against anyone on here
and especially against a bell end like him

[aiden01]

Yeah the office I work at gets regular visits from the regional manager as we are in the same village as where they live so they often pop by to say hello. Quite nice really.

Aww that's nice. Do they give you a little pat on the head when you roll over to have your tummy tickled?

Ffs again please ignore the troll or again please stop quoting him

They will have to keep some allowances like night allowance etc can’t pay people same for nights as days historic allowances should go then it’s all fair

What would stop them withdrawing a premium payment for overnight work? They already want us to work on Sundays at a flat rate.
