Wear And tear

Post by Chelseablue »

has anyone else noticed that since this new way of working was introduced, that the sickness levels have risen? We've had loads off ESP with shoulder and back problems . The job is a lot more physical now , and the amount of boxing in mail and repetition obv takes its toll on you're body .
