Will be more than that next year if people don't start doing the job correctly.using small trolleys,going all the way round with hct.starting on time and not before.not working one minute into there break. don't nest rush about.cant t think of anything else sure there is
In my experience, new starters are starting early and cutting corners just like any other ‘veteran’ postie. It is almost like a cultural thing now. It is madness.

It's beyond parody , we have a 7.10 start on a Saturday, when I got in, on time, I was the last to come in , all walks thrown off except the one I double prep , and the belated pair.
Cue the moans from the idiots that the walks were not ready at 8.30 etc. I just polity remind them of our start times , the DOM can't believe it and never can I.

The overtime ghosters need to pack it in too.
Apparently we’re all just getting paid for the hours we work soon. Will be a lot of unhappy managers when the tracked packets pile up.

Problem is with most of the office doing it to get back on time, then who wants to be the odd one out by either not competing or going over?

I hope that's true, where have you got that from ?
And I really hope that usual clause for the ghost of unless a fixed amount has been agreed with a manager has been removed as well.

I hope it’s true too. Ghosters only serve themselves.

I hope so. Manager saying pay will be linked directly to SISO later this year…

Absolute fools. When they suddenly aren’t being paid double to simply finish at the same time as everyone else, they’ll begin to grasp why they are so annoying.

It was only a matter of time before it got brought in. It'll piss off those who take part of their break at the end of the shift as they'll then have to stay in the office until their official finish time.

You can still take half your break at the end of shift just not the whole break.

You'll need to physically be in the office to scan out at your official finish time when pay gets linked to SISO otherwise you're going to loose half however long the break last in pay

You wont. It is literally built into the offices work plan and accounted for if thats the arrangement.

The dashboard for siso has a meal break toggle, it's accounted for.

He's been told that multiple times now but keeps on quoting the same thing over and over again.
