The old "standardised hours"

Remember? That thing that was never agreed to until the 'peak' period this year...

That old chestnut

Be prepared for your boss asking you to continue to come in early and book it from next Monday

Because RM are run by idiots who live in a world of spreadsheets and have no concept of the reality of what it takes to get the work through the pipeline

Exactly, just shows you how poorly thought out the whole thing is. Wait until the summer ‘quiet ‘ period, when they owe us. Many duties won’t be achievable. Ridiculous idea.

Once the casual labour and the hire vans dissappear, we begin 2024 with the 'annual cull' of jobs and hours. Start times mean f**k all - the job cant be done without overtime and working your days off. Why cant these clowns understand ?
