What is "ghost overtime"?

[clashcityrocker]

Darn... you beat me by a small margin.

Worked my day off (8 hrs) ... mail in from previous day (5 hrs) .. got asked after to take stuff out (about quarter of a walk) for 8 hrs

A good day.... but to be fair i was knackered at the end.

I just dont get this. If you are paid to work certain hours ; then just effing work them.

I work my hours and cut off most days. I never cheat , and if I have time then the absorbtion gets done.

Please , please work to time. (some hope)

Surely we don't have two hampshiremen?

It's theft. Approved by management, as a result of their apparent inability to provide effective monitoring, for whatever reason.

It's not theft if you're given something is it?

The ones that do OT in my office wouldn't do it if they couldn't make plenty of time. Nobody in their right mind is going to deliver from 9/10am until 5/6pm all on basic rate. Finishing earlier just pushes that rate up and makes it worthwhile for them to do it.

Good on them I say, cos there's no way I'm doing any more after I've finished!

What's it called when you come in to work when you're meant to be on holiday then?

Managements favourites taking OT from those who need it.

Happens quite a lot in some offices.
