S.A

Post by bones311274 »

Im used to work an early shift (0700-1500 Tues - Sat), currently our office is moving to another site, i recieved a letter from Royal Mail giving me 2 weeks notice that my shift will change to 1200-2000. My S.A used to be (Wed, Thurs 1530-1930), i haven't recieved a letter saying my S.A will cease.
Im very upset that they seem to think i can afford to lose this, i was aware as we were going to lose this on Oct 3rd as that is when our office was due to move but it could be til mid Oct now which is another 5-6 weeks away, my wife has made arrangements with her work to fit round this as we have 3 children 6 and under. I have spoken to my manager to try and work my S.A on my day off (Monday 1200- 2000), but all i get is we cant do this as there's not enough work for me on the Monday.
Someone please help know where i stand as i feel Royal Mail could'nt give a **** about me or my circumstances!!!!

You've got that right, they don't care. Just better get used to getting your basic now.

Everyone in my office have lost their SA. Nothing can be done about it I'm afraid.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Is this a DO?
That's a big change in hrs.

Rep/area rep involved?

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.
