P&L makes this happen,full timers being reserves.

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.

Can't see how...drivers being reserves yes but why full-timers?
Where's the operational need in that?

The guidelines only state that it would be better for operational reasons if all your cover and leave reserves are drivers and i get the reasons behind that but full-timers vs part-timers...what does it matter?
Especially if your part-timers are working a 3X8hr pattern or something similar.
