Absolutely 100% this happens.
Been told to and did it many a time.

Crazy thing is that the £37m fine amounts to paying over 1300 staff - maybe not enough to fix the problems, but at least it would offer some respite (I figure we’re at around 70k staff nowadays). It makes no sense to not invest in the workforce, unless your intent is to sabotage the system and offload the unprofitable parts, as many of us suspect.

Also basically forcing staff to work 6 days a week by not covering rest days,it’s really bad,especially when it’s a long weekend,coming back on Tuesday to 3 days of letters(not even prepped)and non tracked parcels ,it’s so stressful,not sure how much more I can take,playing catch up all the time.jobs completely f****d

Sad times

There's a solution...... don't work 6 days a week or don't try to catch up.
You do realise that your manager knows you will catch up so he just ignores what's happening and lets you do the damage to yourself. Look after No1 and give yourself a break, also will push the pressure onto your manager.

Problem is if you don't try and catch up then the issue just gets worse and worse each week.

Again i don't think you understand, the problem is not of your making, so why try to clear?
The issue gets worse and worse, i know it's difficult but you really have to get what the problem is.
RM have made the duty too big or not covered you on your day/week off.
Why should you kill yourself to catch up?
They will let your health, both mental and physical, suffer if you want to catch up.
Which means more to you, your health or solving RMs problems?
And lastly, should you really care if it gets worse and worse?
Think about it.

Lying thru his teeth. Incredible,,,, again. In parliament just now.

Bring on the heavy and light model instead of 3 into 4 jobs.

Hope some of you listen to "Dan the man" on the committee today, he cares about the worker about as much as "Simple Simon" did.
Trolling out the same old crud, using the same managers to lie as before, they deny everything that you know is true, so how can you believe anything they promise!
Because everything is he/say, she/say and nobody could come forward in person to tell them without the jeopardy of action being taken against them.
I hoped he would clear out some of the halfwits at the top especially "Tricky Ricky" who just flat out lies for a living, but listening to Dan and the fact he sounds like Simon with a accent, i fancy the future for you all looks pretty s**t!
