We are working every hour 50’s, weekend’s and bank holidays included.
Many of us have been redeployed into unfamiliar benefit areas and roles, working out of grade all over the place so that the immediate universal credit influx of claims can be processed ensuring the money gets where it’s needed.
There have been tears and sweat, real tears in some cases trying to adapt and keep up.
Some work will unfortunately be getting left behind in areas of less priority, but priority they still are and will no doubt be prioritised again when the pandemic response calms down.
Overstaffed we certainly weren’t, hence the current stresses and imminent recruitment.
As an aside I’m not overly concerned about a pay rise, but don’t like our work ethic being undermined especially in the current climate.
