Technically, all NATS full-time staff are contracted to 40 hour weeks.
The combination of arrogance and ignorance displayed by some of my (operational) 'colleagues' never ceases to amaze me. You whine about everyone else but you being useless and a drain on resources as they know nothing about what you do... while showing quite clearly you lack any understanding of what they do, what their role is and what skills and experience they bring to the company.
This is a large company and there are highly skilled, highly qualified and highly valuable employees in a whole range of areas within it. Not just on the Ops room floor.
Funny how any discussion about money always brings out the worst in some people.
