ghosting will never ever stop
the fact is be it dom/dim/com-dom or whatever they are called now is they will be under pressure to clear a certain % and we have quite a few that won't actually do overtime if it means them actually doing overtime :left:
i welcome an overtime ban, but expected it to come from the cwuseless not rm!
jeez we are way behind the eight ball even though most could see it coming weeks back
There's no way they can do deals with one individual to ghost while saying to another you will be given extra work if you come back early. Local managers want ghosting, senior managers do not.
They do this literally ALL the time in my office and have done for years now.

Office wide OT ban across all shifts from next week and they've given notice to terminate all SA across all shifts. The OT ban must be across all office types across the whole of RM. Will be interesting to see how it plays out with staffing levels. We might end up with the first time ever if it gets too bad when we need to pull all the staff off the mech to work in the packet and Tracked areas, sending all the mech as manual. RM seem to also be cutting right down on the numbers of casuals at the same time
They have to give a months' notice to terminate SA's.

Over time bans rarely last like banning yourself eating sugar.

We don't even get O/T to cover a long term absence. Try and complete as much of your own and lapse a full time duty too but don't work any overtime........

To be honest RM banning overtime will have more effect than any strike would, shooting themselves in the foot.

Absolutely no overtime ban at our large office, just the opposite. They can't get enough people to do what is available.

The overtime ban is on pressure. If your office has a bucket load of absence they can still offer overtime.
