  • 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

  • I don’t get it. Should people do work for free, or is it specifically being recompensed with time off instead of pay?

    Fuck working for free. If there’s something that absolutely can’t be put down and finished later, it’s important enough for the company to pay for.

  • Depends if you consider a day off as working for free. I never minded an occasional day of TOIL but every month is bullshit.

    See also - traveling for work on your own time. I've had bosses who were surprised if they had me travel on a weekend or bank holiday and I claimed TOIL for those days
