  • I am currently hating people who don’t work at a proverbial coal face routinely taking “toil”

    I get it if you are a clinician or fireman or someone who can’t just down tools when the working day ends. I don’t get it if you have a cushy number that requires you to do a couple of extra hours in the week.
    I’m looking at fuckers who clock off at half 4 having started at 9 claiming toil because they ate at their desks.

    Pro tip: if you look at someone’s calendar and they have toil mapped in regularly, you are going to be dealing with an unreasonable fuckonaut

  • You’d do extra work for no recompense? Been there, fuck that shit.

    If, in my mainly non coal face life, I do extra hours it’s TOIL (at time and a half) all the way.

  • Exactly. Rinse that shit for alllll it's worth

  • I just stop the issue at source. I work my hours maybe a little more for an equal amount of flexibility the other way.
    If it’s a regular requirement then that needs to be managed upwards.
    The key word being “routinely”

    I’m currently working with people that are basically gaming a system to the point where it’s nearly impossible to meet deadlines because we don’t have their input, because they take toil because they are regularly working over their hours because they are slow at their jobs.
