There are many views and counter views to this, the arithmetic is however quite clear.
The CC employee group as a whole feel intimidated/bullied by the APPLICATION of the process, it is not a fault of the process itself. As has been said, the attitude of those tasked with applying this policy has been poor at best, it is also clear that BA are beginning to recognize that they can't apply the rules of this policy in the way they originally intended.
Another issue regarding this, relates as to how BA count sick days..as it currently stands for example, maternity leave is counted as sickness.
