this is the sort of thing that has caused the park & loop shyte in the first place. we have to stay to our finishing time which unfortunately now stands at 3.05pm. so as you say, it is stupid to come in early NOW(at our office and many more that are now doing p&l) but, rm only ever see someone like yourself as someone who needs to have some more added to your delivery. they do not take into account, the fact, that you come in early,....or people that also, on top of this, do not take their breaks, and in some offices, can still use their own cars. all these factors added together, can give you up to TWO HOURS head start on colleagues who do the job properly. this is what makes them think they can take hours out of the office, make you do more, lapse duties etc etc. yes you may have heard it all a thousand times mate, but believe you me, if you get park and loop, then you can kiss your early finishes goodbye. the c***s have got our lives TAKEN. and its all down to the way you are working.

Personally, I go in 24 hours early and finish 24 hours early. I'm better than all of you.

I use roller blades, an invisible car, bottomless bags. And, consequently, I have managed to get three duties lapsed in my office - and the three people who were sacked are all people I don't like!

When these idiots come in early and go out early and finish early whether or not they have done their absorption the managers should tell them do some more now. That will stop them. Some managers hasn’t got the bottle to tell them..

Anyone with over 2 years work with RM will have done exactly the same as you do, i know i certainly did. Ours stopped bout 18 months ago and we now work our full hours. Enjoy your early finishes as dont think it will last for much longer.

What would happen if you began half an hour early as you say,found it to be a very busy day.....that took you to your proper finishing time to complete your duty? In most offices i think the manager would just say as you chose to begin early you couldn't claim overtime,so you would have worked half an hour for free! Or.........?

They are all twats.

You start on time
You take your meal relief
You finish on time

It isn't rocket science.
