no im on a 20 hour contract. on monday i checked my duty and i was down for doing a full time round (like i do every week, yet they wont alter my contract) with my day off yesterday. while i was off they decided they didnt need me in today, without telling me untill this morning when i went in as usual. it makes no difference to them as ill easily cover my contracted hours over 4 days doing the full time round. there totally taking the piss and tbh, i feel like a spare part to be used as and when needed. royal mail truely is the worst company iv ever worked for. roll on the new year and fingers crossed a new job.....

You are entitled to a payment of two hours or something like that? It happened to me a few years ago, I turned up and two of us were down for the same walk. Because I went in on time, and the other person had started early and prepped in the mech, the bosss told me to go home, but said I was going to get two hours, because he messed up!!

I think that the operative words in the above are "a few years ago" ..... theres a new reality out there now!

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.
