Lost my duty

Post by andy3665 »

I was taken off my duty to do parcels running upto Xmas. Now that's over I'm just covering other duties which I don't mind to much.

Today, I've checked the rota for next week and 4 days I'm covering 4 different duties but on one day I'm a reserve, what exactly does a reserve do?

You shouldn't lose your duty if you signed for it. Your duty is your duty. Sounds like U are actually a reserve who was on same duty for awhile.

Usually gets sent to cover the shittiest walk in the shittiest office in the sector........
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
