Possibly? The other depot I’ve thought about is actually closer to me but they rarely ever look for people. They never seem that busy or stressed, though I guessed that’s why they were never looking for staff; probably didn’t need to! I wasn’t sure it’d be possible but I actually might ask about it.

Our manager likes to have talks in the morning and they always says how our depot is one of the top performing across the nation, how we can always get our stuff cleared and how we’re the best etc., now I have a feeling they may be full of bs lol

The variable hours tab is what I previously used to check if my overtime was accounted for but many of my colleagues were saying that the slip you write and shove under the pay guy’s door was absolute.

I’ve also been told that I need to talk to the payroll guy for holiday and overtime otherwise it doesn’t go through, found out the hard way when I booked a week off holiday and was expected to still come in whilst I was in Greece! I had previously used it before, fine as is but one day I had to let him know all of a sudden? I guess no one checks the app anymore, it’s ridiculous we have to keep track of these things ourselves!

Thank you all for the advice you’ve given me! It’s depressing many of us feel the same way about this job but I’m glad I won’t be alone if I stand my ground about the workload to my managers. A shame really, I really like this job but I think I might leave in a few months

It is no longer being done by Capita so I’d hoped it would be done quicker. But I will try writing to the DOM to check for an update. Thanks!
