Unit 7b rights at work
1:I didn’t really feel I was abusing the system.i mean everybody does it.it was just a few small thing really ?a fax here, a few photocopies there.i felt it was justified.after all ,I did do a lot of unpaid overtime and I took work home with me.they seemed really pleased with my performance ,so I honestly didn’t think they’d mind.

2:my boss didn’t mind if I arrived a couple of minutes late in the morning but if wanted to leave on time, well that was a completely different story. Well, after six months, I’d just had enough of it. Working late every day of the week. So one day I told him straight :I’d only work the hours I’d agreed in my contract.
3:I was having problem s because I just couldn’t seem to prioritize my work and organize my time .so I suppose it looked to my boss as if I couldn’t do the job. But it’s ridiculous really. I could do it. But I just couldn’t seem to keep up with the workload. And this was a place where results were everything.

4:I knew my turn would come soon. But I hated the whole idea of spending three hours in the car every day just getting to work and back .it was ok for some of the others .i mean, they lived nearer the new site. But if I’d had to work overtime. I’d never have got home before 9 o’clock. Well, in the end, I just couldn’t do it. And I wouldn’t do it. And that’s what I told them.

5:I suppose they didn’t want to carry me any longer .i think people just get fed up with having to cover for me and take on all my work when I was away. But it seems a pretty poor show to sack someone for something that isn’t their fault. I mean, no one wants to be ill, do them?
