It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: What is the best day off system?
I do 5 weeks then 1 week off policy working 6 days a week.
If I could choose I would like to pick 4 days a week option (as long I can have Mon-Thurs option)

Re: What is the best day off system?
I do the 6 day week 6th week off and my walk is horrendous especially for packets on average 30 door knocks a day by the end of the 5th week I am like a zombie, the week off is great every 6 but it is a killer getting there and I certainly need it.jcjd wrote:must say i agree anyone who can do six days on the trot in delivery can't have walks too bad and the way the future looks nobody should be tied down into 6 day weeks even with the 6th week off, your body needs a rest.el_cartero wrote:maybe you would on my walk - youd probably die of exhaustion doing 6 days a week for 5 weeks.yokel wrote:I work 6 days a week and get every 6th week totally off and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Re: What is the best day off system?
Everyone at my office HAS to work 6 days every week 
I personally would like Mon - Thurs 10 hrs per day. Or at the least Mon - Fri and scrap Saturday 
... But of course everyone knows that will NEVER happen
