No shifts from Angard

Post by Rombi »

I only get 1 shift a week whereas others get more than me? why does this happen? how is this fair? who chooses people for shifts I am sure by the looks of it the shifts
aren't being rotated fairly by Angard, from my understanding I see the same faces from Angard working 5 days a week

My experience also every time I get a shift the usual suspects are already there. And they are also allowed to book themselves a night shift on the end of their evening I queried this and was told it cant happen so I made sure of my facts and sure enough 5 people on my evening shift disappeared at 10pm only to re-emerge smiling and asking why I hadn't booked one too, plus they are still booking their friends in every shift although the staff issuing shifts categorically state this cannot happen.
I currently get about 4-8 hours in any week where as the people i work with each time are there every evening and weekend and even take nights they are all on full money so must be costing Royal mail a fortune. someone is cleaning up somewhere !

Finally I left Angard, thank god. Got myself a better paying job, even though I was one of their hard working people always putting in 100% during my shifts
