TR,
That is the point I was trying to make!!! There is no common sense to the policy and it cannot be justified. In fact the silence from above and the totally underhand way it is being implemented actually confirms this.
Sorry if I sounded a bit tart but I am seriously pi**ed off at the moment, so take no offence, after all we are batting for the same team I hope.
To all you do-gooders out there, I refer you to EKLAWYERS post. Let us try and stick together on this as it is the only way we will ever see any improvement in the attitude of our managers.
Do not sacrifice short term gain for long term pain.
Keep being sh*f*ted

(Sorry I meant keep discovering)
