Although, is that legal? :-\
Provided you agree I suppose...?

Same here. No holiday any more. "No such thing"
"Overtime is a cancer" same pay rate, nights, days, Sundays, bank holidays, if its on your shift , you work and go so for the same rate. Even when your off shift.
All under the heading of "Anuslised hours, it saves your basic pay! "
Fe@kin eejits don't know what's hit them, now we're in busy season, total panic. While we sit around for a 1/3rd of the day as we're only at 2/3rds capacity.
FFS!
Rant over. For now... ::)
-
Today is my errr Sunday, yet I'm working anyway. D'oh :(
Still overtime is overtime, I'm owed a serious amount of leave, I've got about 290 hours to take before end of June + looks like I'm owed a lot of other swaps.
I'm going to need to take a month off at this rate to make any dent in my holiday ;D
-
Chris, I thought you had been a little too happy......
....welcome back ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Thursday today. Apparently. ::)
-
Thursday here too! Wont be Monday till Monday the 2nd!
-
Chris, I thought you had been a little too happy......
....welcome back ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You have been watching too much TV, where people living in parallel universes always seem to be happy, Chris shows otherwise. :P ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ah, sounds like you've met our management. You have no idea how close to the truth that is Mr Rods2.

Just set foot through the door after leaving home 13 1/2 hours ago, oh & I didn't get paid for that shift! Ah well bedtime now, for a bit at least, back in at 1300hrs! >:(
-
What's this OverTime of which you speak? I've yet to find a job in IT that actually pays it (they just expect you to be available 24/7 .. indeed in my new role 'On Call' means 'Working' - 45 minute SLA to pick up a high priority issue - and you're on call from midnight Friday to midnight Sunday, technically without sleep ;D)..
Then again, IT is also generally paid better than most shift/hourly/OT work, so I can't complain too much I suppose!
-
Is this contracting Aaron? Or full time?
-
Full time - actually it's essentially going back to the role I did three years ago, just in a more senior position.. the 'on call' requirement is a little excessive and the UK management admit to that, but sadly the US see it differently (esp. in Seattle, a 'salaried' employee - rather than hourly - is seen as being paid for working 24/7.. and on top of that it's a zero-notice state so if you don't like it the company can fire you on the spot and tell you to go elsewhere for your employment.. they don't quite understand how the UK works when it comes to things like that!)
But.. this role will be better in the long run, so it's a sacrifice I'll have to make. At least the on call is only one weekend in five!

Indeed, the fun and games of working for tinpot yankie outfits :'(
Hence I've been to the shittier parts on the smoke today, and will be again tomorrow >:(. Still, I'm getting OT on this one, as the customer is paying ;). But its not worth in, seeing as I'll be raking black bogies from my hooter for days now.
Still, tomorrow is Friday :D
-
Oooohohoooo yes it IS Friday tomorrow. ;D :y
Unless my bloody boss appears at my shoulder again tomorrow... At which point he'll be told immediately to ef off and I'll be out of a job altogether. ;D
-
Agreed! Friday tomorrow! :y :y :y
-
Agreed! Friday tomorrow! :y :y :y
Christ almighty. Are you ok B? :o
Its only taken.... 5(?) years ;D
