mailsort didnt go out and i'd say near 50% of packets didnt either.

Plenty of 5pm finishes

sick calls didnt help from those smart enough to know the day after a mail centre strike and bank holiday would be horrific

Still all the PT guys got a few hours OT which all normally goes to the FT staff
5pm finish wtf are you serious?, latest I have ever finished was about 3pm when I first started and didnt have a clue what was going on.

5pm finish is a joke but some places are being hit worse than others. Think im lucky to be in such a smoothly run office to be honest.

Another horrendous day, they decided to change the way they run the mech last night, result utter chaos this morning, mech in wrong bodges which were then wheeled off to other sections :arrrghhh Took me 4.35hrs to complete today. After I had finished had to go for an appointment with the ATOS doctor as my Stage 3 is coming up. He reckons my specialist has given me the wrong diagnosis and I'm wasting my time going to physio, why am I not surprised with his opinion.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Back in on Monday and it's been s**t since. The Dom has brought in flexing of hours and there's a few long faces. Place is full of stuff. Spoken to an area guy from the union to get the low down on the flexing as it appears to be being used purely to get the job done on the cheap if you ask me.
