The amount of people(him included) who come in early, use cars, miss breaks etc etc in our office is unreal.
But when he gets told we have to lapse he accepts it without a fight, and his lambs follow in his footsteps. Then they rush round like lunatics to get it done, and even go to do their part of the lapsed walk in their cars.
There is a small rebel core who are fighting for whats right.
I am one of the floaters affected by this original post and due to return to work next week. I have been informed that the DOM has had 2 of my colleagues in the office regarding the matter and has baffled them. He then informed them that if they go through with this that he will start running the office by the book, for example no swapping days off etc, etc, etc. It sounds like he could turn a few colleagues against us ?
The way things are at the minute in the office we are more like reserves than floats. We have all worked hard over the years to get away from the reserve position (no dis-respect to a reserve) and the float duty gives us the chance to carry out a duty which for that day belongs to us. Its great knowing what you are doing each day (well it was).
I believe duty holders have taken their walk based on a five day week and for the sixth day the duty belongs to the floater.
My question is do we have a case and stick to our guns or do we fold and continue being moved here there and everywhere to allow duty holders to work their days off on o/t on their ownd walks.

I think you'll find that they try to run the office by the book but are totally incapable
It's fun to just do your job and let the DOM deal with the crap he causes.
I'm preparing myself for the zombie invasion, rule number 1 - Cardio
IMHO i would stick to my guns. If your DOM want to try and blame you for his actions ,let him. Make your area rep aware of what he said though. If he wants to try and use you and colleagues as scapegoats ask him for an idividual grievance from then make your DOM aware that you understand exactly what he means and that you will be persuing this matter via the idividual greivance proceedure.
Finaly ask them why they are at present not running the office by the book, and a copy of the book he is refering to.
Confused... You won't be, after the next episode of. SOAP
