I can't say that I have, I was out the door at 5pm like a shot without fail. Never did weekend work either, it was just a job. Doesn't matter what job it was, just a job.
Ok being a postie we're supposed to start at 5am and many do, but an awful lot of come in about 4am instead just so we can catch up and be out the door by 7:30am - but then we mainly finish about 11am, paid till 1pm so it balances out.
And one of the comments from readers made me angry/sad at the same time:
"Surely the individual worker should be more interested in proving to his/her firm that they are a productive and valuable member of the team, ready to go the extra mile to produce good work as opposed to clocking off on the dot as if their employer should be grateful."
?????????????
"Yes I am a productive member of the team"
Baaaaaah baaaaaah baaaaah
Doesn't matter, your ass'll get fired just as easily as the next person.
Christ, "a productive member of the team". Have we become a hive-minded worker bee society that feels the need to be a "Productive member of the team" instead of a person?
I'd like to punch that person in the stomach with my hand which is balled into a fist whilst chanting "I am a productive member of your team"

And the comment from the website sounds like a Belldandy "This is how I expect the world to be based on what I just read in a Clancy book" special.
You would then have to speak with an Inspector and get a sheet signed to actually be paid for that extra work.
Unpaid overtime after working 11-hours used to get on my baps.
Annnnnyyyway, my dad is on a salary and the tendering manager or whatever. He starts at 8 and on average doesn't get home till 7. Though me and my mum keep telling him over and over that he should do 9-5 but no he says its his responsibity and if he can't win orders then he's not doing his job.
Yet his work would make him redundant if it suited them whilst he's lying awake all night worried about his work yet getting buggger all benefit than somebody else who clocks out on the dot. Though, I planted seeds of doubt about my mum leaving him and him having a heart attack, might have knocked some sense into him.
Stupid work, it's only there so we can afford stuff we want to do.
My girlfriend is leaving her shop job as soon as she can (she better do, or pow, zoom, straight to the moon), because of the total lack of respect her company have for their employees. The area manager told the staff they couldn't leave, and set a new finishing time for them - literally 5 minutes before the time they were told they could leave. Good on her though, she went home. Then the gobshite had the nerve to say to her "I don't think you're cut out for a career in retail". What, she doesn't want to end up working in a crappy shop for the rest of her life? You don't say!
And that's another thing about Harlow - how many temping factories do we need? It's like the residents are bred for it.
Eventually we all naffed off after an hour once, leaving the management threating to sack us. I quit and took lots of unused pizzas to a party that night. Good times.
