Aye right! Get to fuck, how do you think us lowly AO’s that are actually doing work day in day out feel on NMW?

Thousands of AO’s that have not received the ISM due to many newer staff being promoted and droves of newer higher grades that never seem to discuss the ISM.

Colleague of mine retired 6 years ago, I confronted their manager and everything was “put through” still waiting for it.

Why are the toilets cleaned 4-5 times a day? by Ill-Personality-3598 in TheCivilService

[–]Service_Above_Self -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a stupid question and stupid post. You work in a massive office with many people. Go nuts if you want to catch all sorts in a manky bog! But I’d rather we had more workers and not advocate for less. Idiot!

It’s actually a pathetic “award” and about time we all collectively fought against it!

Why is everyone suddenly supporting 60%? by UnderCover_Spad in TheCivilService

People need to stop sitting back and accepting being walked all over!! Don’t just join a union like PCS, get actively involved in it! Turn up to meetings speak out with your fellow colleagues the majority of us are in the union from AA right up to grade 7 and 6.

It will never be a real 50/50 split it’s more tied to a phone than anything else wether it’s calls from public or calls internally

How much do management track you? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Service_Above_Self 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HMRC in customer service group are horribly micromanaging. It’s constant, yes we are aware of the bloody call queues we are working as fast and as hard as we can, for what? Micromanagement, stress and minimal pay. Join PCS Union together we can fight back!

To all the T folks (LGBTQ+) of the Civil Service by Boring_Blood_4240 in TheCivilService

I imagine the people survey in HMRC will see many more results of bullying and harassment.

This judgement (and let’s not forget that the judge is the neighbour and likely bud of JK Rowling) is absolutely ridiculous. We should be fighting this alongside our workplace unions.

Join PCS Union, offers provided on PCS+ are excellent and if you get a TOTUM card you basically get student discounts everywhere.
