Combining 2 periods of service for A/L purposes

[crammypostie1]

well if it works for annual leave why doesnt it work for the staff that left and come back to the company?

thats the whole thrust of this thread so not sure what you mean.

staff that leave the company, and then rejoin, should they not be able to combine there time served and class it as seniority

If they did that, it would make them a senior staff member wouldn't it? The ones you want rid of. Make up your mind.

I just like to see every1 fair. Im sure we all have knackers in the office, and some folk with alot of years service that get first pick of duties. Now i dont think its right that time served gets you first pick, you should be interviewed for each position. If that happened, most senior staff would end up as floats and reserves

That wouldn't help you crammy.
If the manager got to hand out the easiest jobs to his mates you would just be another kiss ass in an office full of kiss asses.
The competition would be too much for you.
You're much better off being the only kiss ass in the office,It's what makes you special.

Okay how do you decide who is best suited to an unskilled job that any one of us can do equally well? Prep mail- deliver it- go home! collect it-sort it- whatever! No degree needed so how else do you choose who does what? Seniority IS fair & that comes from someone who would have 25 years but now has just 3! I'm happy that I wont get a duty because I am favoured by management, I originally worked in an office where we all looked out for each other, sounds like you are out for yourself! I do enjoy the job & that's why I came back. you will never know what a good job it was before attitudes like yours ruined RM & it's a shame you see your hard working colleagues as slackers.

Nobody is crying, except you, as that's all you've done in every post. You made a suggestion, I asked you to elaborate, so I could tell you why you're wrong.

May I recommend Edwin A. Abbott as an author, you'd enjoy his writing.
