We used to in the 90's have a part time round that the rep did, I was always happy with this as long, as others have said, and he didn't take the piss.
Nowadays our rep has a job to even get off IPS, I truly believe that giving rep's facility time, is in everyones interest, especially now with all the changes that are going on, to a certain extent our office still seems to be on EA time, it's just like banging your head against a brick wall

i have the same size walk as everyone else in our office,
i do most of my reping during IPS and I'm always one of the last 2 out of my office

i do the reping to help the staff i don't expect any favours

I'd say if your rep is getting favourable treatment and not standing up for your problems
get in touch with your area rep if he/she does not sort it get in touch with division

it disgusts me it really does - they want a bonus so they test the walk - and do half n half + lie about how long its going to be so they can get a BONUS.

Hasnt this gone far enough? all i want is a fair walk .

CAN WE REPORT THIS BEHAVIOUR ????????????????????? i cant believe its encouraged by the bonus culture.

this is almost everything that is problematic about my job.. to long a walk overtime fkd about with .. time squeezed in morning..

its not a "real job" im just the managers bitch/tool for HIS HUGE bonus while i am earning 7k a year he probably gets that just in a bonus....

OMG im gona throw up

what exzactly are the details regarding a management bonus?
