Yes annoying isn't it.

Now over the xmas period i was told to cover the parcel shift plus anything else that needed covered. Worked my hours, no getting away early for me. Had a quick word with my dom about everyone coming back early and still getting paid 2hrs for it (it only happened a couple of days throughout xmas).

I asked if he has the power to tell them to help me shift the parcels, he replied by saying he does but won't do anything about it. Why? :confused

I don't blame my collegues for going home early and putting there feet up while i am still roaming the streets. I blame poor management.

Exactly. Until they are told that they HAVE to work their hours, they'll take shortcuts to finish early. Why not?

In my office its the same people finishing as early as half 11 when they're paid till 2, and the manager does feck all about it.

Everyone's busier in the run up to Christmas but it's the vans, especially this year with all the extra internet bought parcels, that have had a near intollerable workload this time. :sad:

Exactly. So if you can't, don't. If you can, don't cry about it.

It's the same in my office. The foot men are told by the managers that if they absorb, they can get out and finish early (job and finish - no requirement to return), which makes a mockery of Higson's 'All we want is for our staff to work all of the hours they're paid for.'

Meanwhile, us drivers, who don't do job and finish because we have to bring the vans back get made to absorb if there's the slightest chance we might finish early!
