M/C breaks have been cut to 30mins...they are now productivity based...something to do with World Class Mail efficiencies i think....there should be a poster outside your restaurant/health spa. :whistle :chuckle

There was supposed to be a big announcement but the announ..................actually forget it.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Mail Centre vs Delivery Office.
It wouldn't really be much of a fight would it?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I can just imagine them all running away bleating - "We've not had our hour long breaks yet"
We'd just batter them so we could be up the road 2hrs early.

Mailcentres are full of old guys working their ticket anyway.
