Whatever you think you'll go over by, that's what you leave in. You're at least giving them the chance to get it delivered. Try and avoid bringing back, if you can.

That's because they think that you are more likely to work past your time if it is mail frrom your duty that you will be bringing back.

It makes no difference in reality. Work to your time.

And they can then say they cleared the office because they'll be gone when you get back.

If you have to cut off you should not be lapsing/absorbing period,this affects the QOS and 'should' be a big no no.
Get higher reps on to it.

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.
