This is a blatant change to the contract! It is agreed that the company will provide ALL utilities in company accommodation.
Yet again, a completely ridiculous time scale (ie. 4 days notice), with absolutely no information to go by (facility to check historical bills not available yet)!
I am fortunate to live in one of the larger company villas (4500 sq ft, 5 beds etc), now I reckon I'm gonna be severely out of pocket each year as through no fault of my own, I'll be way above the 'average' consumption just in AC use alone! For gods sake, they should at least provide us with ceiling fans, and timers for the water heaters etc. (or give us time to have them installed!)
And another thing, why the hell can't they just be honest and say its a company cost saving measure.. why do they have to treat us like morons and pretend its a government initiative to protect the environment BULLCRAP!! M.F has gone on record as saying that he doesn't believe in man being responsible for global warming (along with Jeremy Clarkson I totally agree, buts thats another story)
Tossers!
