getting the same job to do everyday, help.

Hi,

Is it a reasonable request for me to ask for a bit of consistency when it comes to, in particular, the indoor part of the job.
I find it hard a lot of the time to be given jobs (a), (b), (c), (d), to do (different most days) then get to my own frame to find it still needs prepped.
On the flip side, there are plenty guys in our office who do the exact same indoor job every day, 95% of that is always prepping their own duty from starting time, then help out from time to time where needed if the notion takes them.
Now, I'm not silly enough to think EVERYONE can get to do what they want ALL the time (lets face it, getting to prep your own duty gives you a distinct advantage/makes the job easier) , but surely there needs to be some sort of middle ground here.
How does it work in other offices?

RM managers look at this very simply -
are things getting done ?
are you are able to complete your work every day ?

when answers to both are yes, then theres very little motivation for them to change anything.

It is reasonable to request it, but unfortunately that's about it, manager can simply unfortunately reasonable deny it, the line as direct or words to that effect are in every duty 318

You should be on an assigned duty doing the same 'A' everyday before prepping your frame. That's how it should work in the planning schedule unless you are casual cover.

My advice would be decide how long you need to prep your frame, tell your manager you need to be on it by that time and do a/b/c whatever they request until that time and no later. If you don't get enough time to prop own round you will need to cut off or book OT. Tell them if you had a set 'A' everyday you would get faster at it.
