Why do they have to leave them?
It isn't right that when there is money involved all the work belongs to the walk holder and when there isn't it's "We're all paid the same. We should all do the same job".
Being a walkholder shouldn't give you the authority to s**t on your floater.
If the spec is 3 days then 1/3 each day and money for the floater as well.
Why do we have to work with so many knobends?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Define correct :crazy:

It appears to be a local agreement. We have been paid 3.5p in the past then NOTHING :evil/mad and this time ive pushed for 6p which has only been verbal agreed.

It seems RM pay as little as they can get away with. Do managers get a bonus for election savings :hmmmm
