Sometimes I think some people are too scared to cut off.
Start growing a pair , and cut off .
Until you cut off nothing will change, thats my advice.
You never get a postman who cuts off moaning about their walk , its only the ones that dont

someone tell me how this works:

today a full timer (39 hours) signed in at 0640 and signed out at 1310, doing a rural job + absorption, he gets away with murder, but the managers love him as he takes absorption without fail. that's 6.5 hours work when he should be doing 8.

a part timer (30 hours) signed in at 0750 and finished at 15:30, he's on a 6 month contract. that's 7 hours 40 when he should do 6. they wont pay overtime.

all in the same office, part timer is scared to cut off as he knows they might not renew contract.

Really??? I thought it was there to give somebody a job and to tick boxes of bullcrap about being seen to do something about bullying.

Sadly this goes on in every office. Its always been the same iam afraid :sad:

I am full time and a walker and work my full time but the firms finish 60-90 mins early every day and do not absorb. :arrrghhh
