    Worst thing

    Don’t get rotas until the week has started. Changes can be so last minute that a shift may have already started when you are told to go to another site to work. The fuel expenses we got promised before signing the job contract are not being taken away from us. The company as is trying to not pay its staff in the cleaning sector what they are working/owed. Management and other higher up people in the company are rude and have no idea what the workers are actually doing and the difficulties staff face to get the job done
