Uncovered Duties

Duty sheets at Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus are showing loads of duties unfilled.

At Oxford Circus, 6 full time and 6 part time positions are vacant. There are not enough staff to stretch, and platforms where the Business Needs says there needs to be SATS are left unstaffed (with what impact on Customer Satisfaction surveys and our bonus?).

It seems management are doing their usual tricks of cutting costs by making already overworked staff work even harder. Funny how they make our lives a misery when we're absent due to sickness! But what is even more sinister is the potential reasons for leaving positions vacant ... maybe they're paving the way for redeploying staff from outer London stations when jobs are cut, especially in the ticket office.
