Rug
i don’t know how much better it was in 2001 but I joined in 2011 end it was a good job at the time - in 2013/14 when they decided to start bull**** the 330/340 guys over transition to 380 that when it was the start of the severe downgrade in TnCs. since that time literally every benefit got touched to disfavor the employees - its where it started that accommodation was driven into company homes, medical benefit got more and more complicated and dis functional, no more step increases, rarely a profit share, not being able to request off days to your leave, not getting more than two blocks off leave, ending not even getting the full leave balance at all.
Finally introducing a bidding system which didn’t give one bid awarded, with a roaster making it impossible to swap due to swap rules a la
not 2 times same destination per month
not more than one home country/city
language limitation
And all the time restrictions which never had an impact on roastering but on swapping
99% of swapping rules could have been replaced by a “we don’t like u rule”. bottom line is the bidding / swapping app is not more than a shiny argument on the job ad but wasn’t working since it’s introduction.
Topping in being redundant for having a sick day somewhere along your career.
