Absorbtion over Christmas Pressure
Are we going to be expected to absorb over the christmas period, or is there going to be a common sense approach?

If you're absorbing now were into Autumn pressure, I'll hazard a guess

Depends, how much common sense does your DOM have?dazzlin72 wrote:Are we going to be expected to absorb over the christmas period, or is there going to be a common sense approach?
Remmember all A/L is cancelled over Christmas pressure so there should be more staff, i don't see them wanting to absorb then to be honest.

We've been told that if we absorb all year round ( including xmas), then we'll get £200. Also, dom says if it takes us over our hours because of it, then just book it.

I would tell Dom to stick it. We dont do absorption and most of us at the office have no plans to do ot at xmas if d2ds are part of our day
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
