Indoor 'overtime'

Post by travisbickle »

Hi all, i probably know the answer to this, but here goes.Been at Royal Mail for over 3 years, 25 hour contract.From the first week ive done overtime including the indoor prepping of my walk and sometimes double prepping if the sickness level is high.RM are now saying that the indoor aspect of my ot is no longer available due to the full time staff coming in an hour early and shooting out the door well before their time.Guess im screwed?

YIP!And these were the people who in the old days used to grab all the S/A going too!
But, get your own back, next time they ask you to do it say no, no and no!

why don't you ask your rep to call a meeting and explain to your colleagues what effect this is having on you part timers?

worth a try?

Nice rep,nice workmates,jobs a gooden. :neutral:

Silver lining,watch them cry like babies when they have to work to their time after the revision is in.
Then you can tell them 'well you are contracted to 39/40 hours and thats what you should expect to work.' :left:

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.

I think you could be right...........its quite disheartening to know that some postmen are on their last bag before youve even started! :crazy:
