Re: p and l what a joke
Royal Mail managers never pay people to start early, so it is not good idea to do it. If you do, the management will take advantage and put you on bigger walk.
So if you start an hour early and do 5 hours work everyday and finished 1 hour early in Royal Mail book you have only done 4 hour work, and they can ask you to do extra work. So only do it when you got extremely important thing need doing ie catch a flight after work.

Re: p and l what a joke
why do people think they are obligated to come in early
please dont
it has an effect on the IWT, traffic figures etc,
its making out the office is doing better than it is
dont come moaning to me when they start putting more work on the deliveries or start lapsing
all you people on fixed term contracts
dont think you are doing royal mail any favours hoping for a full time position
as soon as the revision in your office has been maxed, you are out the door, plain and simple.
they are not goping to make someone on a full time contract redundant when they have fixed term do you.
the fixed term staff are just to pick up the pieces in the short term, this was all worked out two years ago, royal mail knew exactly what they were doing
thats what the revision is all about, reducing duties and man hours

Re: p and l what a joke
when park and loop is introduced into an office there is a 6 week bedding in period.
at our office all the full timers have told the manager to stuff his overtime and are working to rule.
the manager has instead got the part timers to come in early and they are taking the docket.
