Well it MUST be true then
In all honesty , if Ryanair guys ( and gals Clara

) can have 5/4 with no representation whatsoever, and assumedly still get enough work out of the peeps, what is holding you back ? I am sure your annual/monthly limits will still be easily reached even with that pattern.
I sometimes think the inertia displayed by management over this matter is just petty bitter jealousy ( I work Mon-Fri then only have 2 days off , why should these overpaid lazy primadonnas have 4 ?. . . . I think you probably know the mentality of these "office dwellers", why give them what they want even if it is Ok for us. . . Nah

)
