REVISION

Post by ellis061105 »

Hi,just going through an office revision,found out that 9 of the staff out of 40 have got 1 in 3
Saturdays off with the rest of us still on 1 in 6.Who actually decides this because there was
no vote and when i questioned it manager said it was focus group :shock: .
surely there should be an office vote on this?

was told that if 27 have it ,p/t would have to decrease their hours to 24 and it wasnt good
for the business.surely 9 people cannot decide what happens in an office of 40 odd.

If all channels have been exhausted about getting the best deal for everyone no probs
But it looks like they went and looked after themselves.integrity and principles
Spring to mind but it's probably the world we live in today.

Everybody who won't be getting 1 in 3 should point out that they are being treated unfairly.
And the Rep (if you have one) shouldn't be allowing this anyway.
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't a Rep.

Maybe they can have it but there are consequences to every decision.
It is whether those consequences are palatable or not.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
