Van shares

Post by clashcityrocker »

Over the summer it has been impossible for the managers to pair f/t with p/t on van share duties.
As there was so little indoor work, the full timers have the van ready and loaded about 30 minutes before the p/t staff start.
So it has been f/t with f/t leaving before the p/t start and p/t with p/t coming in to a half prepped frame.
What do you mean you can't lapse?

(A wicked part of me wanted to get every part timer to phone in sick about 5 minutes before their duty starts.)
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

ney backbone from management allows the 'golden boys' to continue to slackarse their way through another day - meanwhile the pt mop-up muppets get the usual backlash from the spineless shitehawk mngrs whom expect us to be grateful for any 'extra' hrs; even tho we don't want it. I saw 2 ft slope off at 1350hrs on a thurs finish 1520 AND THEY LEFT IN LAPSING THE CHEEKY UNCTS! morale booster that. :Applause

Does anyone else have two full timers signed into a van share? If so could you reply with your office name please?
Cheers!
What's the problem if you can't have 2 FT together?

Maybe your manager has noticed full time pairings leaving 30-60 minutes before anyone else and has decided to stop it?
We don’t have ‘signed into’ full time van shares, we have full staff as reserves who cover van shares.

We’re advertising the vacant duties and there are a lot of full time reserves but the duties available are mainly designated ‘PT’.

Yes there are quite a few at my office, but there's no way I'm giving you which office it is. Why would I put my neck on the line for someone on an online post forum?
Yeah I totally get that. All I was going to say to her was X office has full timers in a van share as does this office and that office does too.

I get that people might not want to share their office.
