Same in my DO. DIMs really clamping down on the OT. Keeps giving us a sob story about how short of cash the Business is. :Boo hoo! OK if you're Full Time but all the Part Timers we've taken on ready for the Revision (Which they've now Suspended) are now all scratching around trying to find a few hours extra to help pay the rent! :arrrghhh Funnily enough the Bank manager doesn't really care about RMs cashflow problems...he's just worried about mine! :shock:

afternoon phg runs our place when the manager goes,and according to him its his arse on the line when rounds fail and suchlike,real company man cant see him making old bones the way he frets,he also mans the callers and looks after the afternoon sa,s (u can stick his job for what an extra 30 quid a week)

I cut off yesterday, this morning I was asked if I would complete so I shrugged my shoulders and said 'dunno'. Then the bribe of leave the large packets. Completed but ended up booking because my P & L partner fell over on the last loop, cut his hand up and bashed his hip.....guess he'll be off tomorrow. Its been heavy for the past couple of weeks, Studio catalogues have'nt helped.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
