Sick policy has to change. It cripples this company!

I'm consistently having front line staff in my office telling me they are sick to the back teeth of their colleagues abusing the sick policy, as they have to pick up the extra workload. I'm not saying sick is ingenuine. And i fully support it being paid for people with genuine illness. However, nobody can deny it's abused in this company. Look at the percentage compared to same sized industries, listen to what gets said openly on the work floors, look what gets posted on facebook pages etc..... it's not even hidden that it's abused and bizarrely nobody ever does anything about it.

The amount of postman that actually try and intimidate managers by using grievances and the word 'bullying' sadly makes a joke out of the few time it may be genuinely used. Nobody bullies anyone in my units. Fact.

Does this c*** have someone to dress them in the morning?

Nice to see RM employ the hard of thinking.

And as for his scenario I'll take "Things that never happened" for $500 Alex.

This actually came from the reps mouth a few days ago

"mental health is the new 'sore' back"

Why do they have to ‘pick up the extra workload’ ? You have a start and a finish time wether there’s one off sick or twenty

[daveyeff]

exactly. its a skill requirement managers need to be a manager. ''fluent in bullshittery''

[Foxel]

Look at the percentage compared to same sized industries,

You cannot compare sickness without comparing other contributing factors, physical demand, stress, environment, equipment, managerial compassion...

My sympathies to everyone in the Bitterne office.

Maybe if the workload changed and the staff were not treated like donkeys things might change? No?

[charlatans]

I know im not in the same crap as youz guys get but when were a man down or im on my own and the shift manager (fanny) shitting the machine breakdown. I only have 1 pair of hands. Which machine do you want fixed first? Then at a set time i will go home.

Probably the close proximity to the Dom c*** making people sick.

Come on guys, he said “fact”

FACT another liar

I couldnt give a monkeys if the entire office phoned in sick on any given day. It has no effect on how long or hard I need to work.

I have contracted hours. I work them and I go home.

I am not forced to stay out till midnight delivering because Jimmy, John and Jack didnt show up.
