Finishing Time Query

Post by Syze »

I'm back on delivery tomorrow for the first time since Christmas due to a health problem, I'm a 30 hour contract and am sticking to it. Say I was contracted to finish at 14:00 does that mean stop delivery at 14:00 or arrive back in the office for 14:00?

Back in office or pouched off at 14:00 ready to go home.

If delivering the mail for this time is going to be an issue, and you are unhappy to extend
then you need to inform DOM prior to delivery and make arrangements.

Tends to be local agreements - our managers tried to get us to accept finish on last letter - we eventually got 15 minutes travelling back to office.

And don't put any D2D in your car.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

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.
