A business that rely on people doing overtime!!!!

Post by steven100 »

In my office our managers rely on people doing overtime daily and forcing people to work extra (for nothing - lapsing) even when its not achievable. I know of another office that lapse daily and the manager admits it really they can't do it(accept Tuesday). This is all down to staff issues. How can a company run like this never mind a office.
Is this the same with more offices across UK? Wonder if this happens in other companies!!!

Actually, I think we're a tiny bit lucky in this regard. With lots of other jobs, when you're on a straight salary, they pretty much count on you going beyond 39 or 40 hours a week.

Only if you are salaried, hourly paid is what we, as Posties, are.

Its ridculous. The revision in our place has been planned on having over 1 hr OT built into the round. and when that cant be done for whatever reason, managers bottom lip comes out..... not my pay scale to worry about such things :cuppa

Most salary workers get time back in lieu.
