I just need to rant here because it's really starting to irk me.
I work with two other people. That's it. And because of the pandemic our hours have been cut slightly and in theory, our duties have also been cut. We have a very short time to do our work in. Imo, it's not actually enough time now they've reduce the hours because although some duties have been cut, not enough to align with the reduction in hours. So that's one issue to start with.
The second is my colleagues, they take far too long to carry out each task. We need to do each task as quickly as possible to ensure it all gets done but they don't seem bothered about finishing in time and take things really slowly. To make up for this, I run myself ragged the entire time, doing things at lightening speed. We finish on average fifteen minutes late every day. If I didn't rush around at lightening speed, it would be even later than this. They also continue to do some duties that we don't actually need to do anymore which also adds extra time.
I know plenty on Mumsnet claim they work over their designated hours and fifteen minutes is nothing but for me, over the course of a week that's an entire extra shift in time that I'm not getting paid for and at minimum wage it makes all the difference.
To add another layer, my two colleagues work at a different site. There's supposed to be two of us at each site but my colleague left without notice one day so for the time being they've merged the three of us to work over the two sites together so that's already created a them v me situation which is bloody ridiculous but that's apparently how it is.
I also had to have several months off due to illness and I feel like this might have exacerbated this apparent divide between us. I feel like I can't really say anything to management because it'll end up being my word against theirs.
It's just all very frustrating. So AIBU to feel like this?
