YOUR OFFICE XMAS PLANS!!!!!!
Hi!! Is anybody else's office suffering this year with cut backs, I'm dreading Xmas this year, normally our holiday cover posties have a hire van and take a chunk of each person in their sections round, to lighten the load but we have been told today instead of having our usual 6 hire vans at Xmas we are only allowed 2!!!!! We are staff down due to sick and transfers and now our manger wants us to start 2 hours earlier!!!!!!! Even tho the lorry with our last mech will be arriving at the same time as now, 7.30 ish , can he change our start times like this and just expect us to come in early and not finish till normal time, that will be like a 11 hour shift for me!!

Yeah just work your normal hours, it's probably them that have created the problem. Actually our office management have been asking if we will work 6 days. I'm pretty sure most declined and will only be working 5 days.

Unless you fancy the 10-12 hours SA money per week! Because if he wants you for 2 hours longer each day then that's what it's going to cost him!!k979aaa wrote:Tell him to f**k it work your normal hour's.slipperycoconut1987 wrote:Hi!!

Get drunk.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
