Not quite true

As long as they have given the legal minimum notice they do not need to honour anything if they really want to be arsey about it

Tell him bollox,you know what your days of are and you have plans for those days.
For instance,i do stuff on my day off,i know when they are and plan around them.
Like i said,tell him bollox and flag it up to area.

without prior notice my f***ing arse.

PS:Would love to see the reps face when his Saturday is cancelled. :cuppa

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.
