A good chunk of LSM/LIM coasters use flywheels to prevent the huge current demanded by those launches.As the launch system charges over a period of time, there is no sudden power demand and spike, as there would be on say a LSM or LIM launch system. Which are far more power hungry, and demand huge current at launch time. Completely different to Rita and the way all hydraulic launches work. The hydraulic launch system is far far more suited to somewhere like Alton, where power can be an issue. Hence why we have a hydraulic and not a LSM/LIM launch ride at Alton.
It’s quite easy to solve really though isn’t it - pay slightly higher and don’t treat people like crap
It went out to WGC who do most other Merlin hotels.Apparently housekeeping has been outsourced to an outside recruitment agency. Or there were at least talks of it happening.
That sounds pretty reasonable to me @ihaveaspergers ?For a Ten Trip ticket it's £27.
I must have came across an incorrect document thenIt went out to WGC who do most other Merlin hotels.
That sounds pretty reasonable to be @ihaveaspergers ?
Given the scale of the operation, offering free transport would have a significant cost associated with it that I am not sure would make sense unless retention really suffered.
I haven't lost one yet! None of them have the expectation I am going to pay for their Oyster or diesel though!and I bet your minimum wage employees just love working for you.
I don't doubt you got it for nothing, but I put it to you that isn't the norm. For sales assistants, baristas, bar staff etc who live in the suburbs, how many do you think get free travel on buses, the tube, trams etc - not many, I'd suggest.As I said, I was given free transport when I first started in the working world, this practice of charging employees for stuff is relatively new.
True, but there are cheaper and more effective ways to deal with it largely because I think the reasons that @Dave outlined are more damaging to retention.Well yup, they're complaining about a lack of staff.... while charging said staff... not rocket science...
Back in the day, you were often forced into the mill owners shop, buying overpriced goods on credit, and the payments were taken from your wages before you got your pay packet.
What was left was sometimes paid to you in shop tokens if you were in debt to the firm due to shop credit.
The mill owner also usually owned your house as well.
