Woman’s exhaustion claim over scanning documents dismissed

7 comments
  1. I remember getting lamped with a daily “10 minute scanning” task where I was told it would just be feeding into the automated tray.

    Thousands of applications, several pages each, pages out of order, and all stapled together. Spent hours at it over the next several weeks into months.

    I hated every minute of it, it was absolutely mind numbing. Enough that I made the decision there and then to retrain out of my degree field and move into Computer Science.

  2. >The worker was supported in her claim by the country’s largest public service unions, Fórsa.

    >A Fórsa representative told the WRC hearing that the employer “showed no duty of care to the worker” and highlighted that “she should have been referred to occupational health as a result of the stress caused to her by these proposed changes”.

    If you ever wonder why the HSE isn’t ever successfully reformed, read these 2 paragraphs again. Ridiculous that the union would support such ludicrous claims.

  3. Haven’t they heard of a snap scan ix1500?

    A tiny bit of machine learning processing and this would be the kind of job where you watch nextflix all day.
