Unhappy XMAS IS CANCELLED

Just when you thought the aliens in Planet ORO had reached the outer limits of the reality world, it now seems that very shortly all at Latcc will be contacted regarding extra rostered modules over the Xmas period. My sources tell me that you might get December 25th off!
The return of the NTT to the watch leave books for that period will be rescinded and they will be expected to attend Nerc.

CAN WE ALL FINALLY MAKE A STAND AND TELL THE ORO TO "GET STUFFED"?

We have gone along with the request to plan our lives around OCT for the year , but it seems they are able to move the goal posts as much as they wish with no comeback to WP, employee handbook or any other agreement that has been arranged.

I for one have arranged things to do on my few days off at Xmas between working shifts and if we have all done this then perhaps we , the staff who basically work to provide the revenue that pays for all these parasites to sit in their plush offices, can regain control of the ship before it hits the iceberg and sinks without trace.

This one is easy- just say NO,NO,NO.

NATS made great play months ago of assuring us that we had the plan around which we could all arrange our outside lives. It isn't our fault that there's not enough contingency built in to allow for failures/sickness etc.

We had to book leave months in advance to allow this plan to be finalised and now they're coming up with this barking scheme.I think it's initially up to the NTT to cause a stir and then the rest of us to back that up. It could work out that an NTT person could get Xmas & Boxing days as DIL leaving the poor sods on watch to cover it all.

It's NOT acceptable and we as a group should resist it.




Ps What's the OT rate for Xmas Day?????

The watches are in the process of releasing this info to the staff. I reckon they will need to get the riot police in.

I know of members of the NTT who have already been promised a DIL on XMAS DAY!!!-absolutely disgraceful.
