How hopeless is your Lino?

Post by Burghboy »

Surely they cant all be the same?

Months ago got him to order me new shorts (I only wear shorts) he ordered a pair of trousers wrong size from what I asked for. Took me a month to get a new pair of shorts the correct size. Now my shorts are all worn again I cant get new ones as the pair of trousers that Ive never had was taken off my allocation due to the lino not following the returns policy.

Months ago I filled in a request to buy extra annual leave. I followed that up by asking the wage clerk if that was sorted and had assurances that the lino had actioned that and it was in place to start April. Of course April comes and no deductions from my wages, phone HR and they tell me nothing has been actioned and the window has now passed and I can now no longer get that until next April.

Spent the morning of my day off on phone to HR and uniform trying to sort this without success due to this incompetent being unable to do his job.

Starting to think the same thing.

Been in post three months now. Still haven't had a Saturday off, log in for my Pda hasn't been set up, no ID badge produced.
And what's with getting rotas for the week ahead on the Saturday before?
It cant be that hard to have them ready 2 or 4 weeks in advance so you can make plans and do things with your family... Or maybe that's just too much common sense?

And every week I have to chase my OT payment from the week before.
