Breaks

Post by Onmyown »

Just interested when do ppl have their breaks?
I'm like the only one what has break before I go out, and today I even got told off for not telling my manager I was having my break before I went out. And I said we'll everybody should have their break and he agreed. So why won't he tell people they have to have their break.

Yeah I know that, is there anyway the union can get the management to stop ppl coming in early and have a set break time?

I have my break out.............usually after 3 1/2 to 4 hours when I need the boost (and a wee rest) but then I can because I'm in the van by myself and also I have a really good book at the minute (that Mr Grey is a real gentleman :nervous ).

I'm starting to lose the plot at my place, all I get is abuse from others. " cutting off again are we" "shafting somebody else again" really does my head in :-(. Why can't they just force ppl to have breaks and not come in early.

Onmyown,during your revision your breaks would of been worked out,it will be in the revision docs.

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.

Because they'd all be cutting off.
