Spot on......... the more work the better!!! I would rather we were hammered every day than the work was drying up. When will people on here realise that more work equals job security. Anyone who still can’t fathom this simple fact only needs to look at EasyJet, BA, the travel company who’s name escape me that owns hotels and coach companies, Monsoon, Accesorize etc etc. Wonder how many of their staff in the past wished for the work to dry up and now they have that wish. And guess who’s paying the price for that in job losses. Incredible how many times on here you see people wishing for the work to dry up. I’m sure people think that if we have no work they’ll still go in, do feck all and still pick up £400 at the end of the week.
Luck you if you are picking up 400 most people in our office are part time and we struggle to get paid properly in overtime every week.Extra work is great if they actually starting paying for the hours we worked instead of just disputing every hour you claim

This is exactly what I believe makes people moan about volume of parcels. Management very often try to bully us into working through our break, cutting corners and basically every time you're about to let them know you will be going over they will challenge it to some extent. You end up like you have to beg to be paid for hours worked and still pay disputes are pretty common.

Our RDC has been handling the Adidas contract. A colleague said it was temporary for five weeks. Can anyone confirm this?
