immature manager!!
Because we wouldn't agree with extra lasping of walks our manager is making us take mailsort on a saturday which we haven't done in years. Because of this we have gone back to a 5 start on a Saturday. We cleared the mailsort, all walks thrown out, everything was done and clear. However because we started at 5 which is our offical time on a Saturday instead of 6 which we have been doing cos of the time the mail comes up, our manager wouldn't let us go out. We were made to wait an hour before we could go out, I asked y and was told cos we started at 5 without consulting her first and the fact we won't laspe any more than we are doing we wernt not to go out till the exit time. Are you made to wait till the exit time before you can go out??

Re: immature manager!!
Maybe by being ready an hour before you are due out, you have given your manager the ammo she needs to prove you do have time to do more lapsing 
This ain't no baseball game, you get only one chance and you blew it.

Re: immature manager!!
Are you finishing at your time even getting out later? Are you being made to work over your time?
Why would you care if your manager makes you stay inside, just do your job and forget about all the other crap that goes on.

Re: immature manager!!
Jeannie, nobody can make you lapse on a regular defined basis. It is all to do with the amount of traffic you have on any given day. The absorption rules clearly define that this can only be applied if there is sufficient time within your conditioned hours for that day. No time, no absorption, if time then they are entitled to give you sufficient work to take you up to your finish time.
