I get shipped around a 35 mile diameter anyway covering 7 offices. It's horrible not knowing where you'll be until 7am on the day or being sent from one office to another.

My small main office is losing a round, so there will be people spare.
Doesn’t sound too bad to me, large part of your day taken up driving , deliver 2 or 3 bags then it’s time to drive home.

Oh no we still do a full round 6 to 9 bags. And have to sign in on time at the given location.
I'm turning purple!

Gatwick re alignment picks start tomorrow.
40 full time duties have been removed. Anyone’s who’s duties haven’t been changed will keep their duties.
We have been told, those of us who’s duties have changed will get to pick what is available except for the 40+ surplus who won’t have a duty to pick.
They will be offered part time role, vr or relocation to another office within .15 mile radius.
Seniority is only being done out of those who have to pick a job.
So if your 3 years in service and your duty does not change,you get to keep your job.
If your 30 years in service and your job changes and there is nothing to pick, you will be relocated.
How is this fair

MC or DO? If it's the MC, why can't the 40 displaced people be moved to other shifts (which shift is losing the duties if its the MC)?

You should sign in at your office, then RM should make provision for your travel to another office assuming you are still based at that office and have not been permanently transferred to another, dont drive to another office in work time in your own car

We have been told they are going to fill the place with agency to cover all our cut offs from last weeks botched revision.
The union wasn't lying when they said they are destroying the job.

All part of their plan to make people quit. 5 or 6 people have left my office so far. No doubt more will leave in the next year.

Gatwick what a bloody carve up, get rid of the agency staff now, then look again. Wish they'd give us the 2 years pay off, and we can all f**k off. Feels like 30 wasted years, to be treated like s**t. Can understand moving people IF it's nearer their home address, otherwise it's deliberately pissing people off, hoping they leave. We haven't had any movements yet, apart from turning down transfer requests.

The problem with forcing people to move to another office is that, that office will also be cutting staff. So how on earth are they going to find space for refugees from another office?

That’s not how it works, report to your office at your start time. Scan in, ask manager what your doing, if your going to another office ask for a van to travel in, drive to other office, do some work. Allow time to travel back to home off. Scan out on time and go home.

That’s not how it works,
It is if you are an area reserve.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

MC

Days are losing the duties and nights duties are not changing so those jobs won’t be available to pick
