There is no such thing as "Work to Rule". I think if there was it'd probably be illegal. you are quite correct Bring, all you have to do is work "Properly" no way can that be seen as illegal. In fact if everyone in RM worked "Properly" the business would probably crash n burn as there's no way they can operate under those conditions! :no no

Royal Fail rely on a "Work Hungry" workforce of part-timers fighting each other for any available Over Time. We're our own worst enemies when it comes to it, :arrrghhh but I realise you can't ask people to stand on principles when there's bills to be paid. Especially when they know if they turn down the over time some one else will grab it. :mad

People get "work to rule" and "overtime ban" mixed up all the time.
I don't know why because the clues are there in the words.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
