It's your own fault

[Nondescript]

Head above parapet. There's a culture on the floor of getting the job done as quickly as possible at any cost. For me to single-handedly stand up to it would make me very unpopular amongst my colleagues (by the time I start the day my partner is already making a great show of looking at his watch). Management love this situation because it relieves them of the pressure they'd need to put on us as we're busy doing it to ourselves. Incidentally, not sure I know anyone in our office who doesn't put MR at the end of their shift.

I'm in the exact same situation as you are. I'm a part timer, often paired with a full timer, but I come in at my official start time and take at least half (and often all) of my meal break before going out on delivery. I've no doubt that makes some people not want to work with me, but to paraphrase, it's their own fault.

The union has been saying for years now to do the job properly but next to no-one listens!

Do you go to work to be popular?

Don't come on here castigating others when you are guilty of similar behaviour and, ergo part of the problem!
