Another day of cutting off

[chrisj]

thanks eastie, I am not too bothered except for a handful (with has easier rounds) that likes to take the micky out of a lot of people - including myself. There is nothing one can do about that - it is often banter, however, when managers pick up on some of these flippant comments and then try to use them as a justification for this and that, then it can be irksome.

The only reason I moan a lot is because I am being shafted as a reserve and as someone who is flexible and versatile. I cannot pick and choose what rounds to go on as I am reasonably junior and we are just bedding in the P&L system and pairings etc. No resign yet and staffing level is not right and people are dropping off left right and centre and then some dont drive...

I do speak up to claim my OT money - that is why I work. I am slightly frustrated with folks rather than managers but ce la vie - no biggy as long as I get paid. Some of these flash guys actually start before their time - so they are not as a fast they might seem. I have seen a lot since coming in on FT hours (I am on the biggest and baddest round as per the disgraceful planner who is nowhere to be seen (for many weeks) to correct the error.

Manager comes to me today to have a look at a round because two of them suffered yesterday when trying to do the job as it was set out by the planner - shambles in some cases...

That'll be management keeping you in the dark. Happened to me when I started and I got sick of it and began bringing stuff back to the office which got me in trouble.
