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.

Postman, I thought you may be interested to know that Angard staff are now being offered an incentive to work Friday and/or Saturday. Staff will be paid for 8 hours each day even if they work less than that - as far as I understand it, this is more of an incentive to someone working a 3 hour shift than a 7.5hr shift.

I hope it’s obvious that I’m not posting this to encourage Angard staff to work, but to illustrate the tactics RM are using to get cover during the strike.
Dear colleague – we are expecting large volumes of work this Friday and Saturday across the Royal Mail network. As a result we are pleased to confirm that all worked hours that are less than 8 hours this Friday and Saturday will be increased to 8 hours paid working time per day. For all pre-AWR workers completing 8 hour shifts with breaks your pay will also be rounded up to 8 hours paid working time.

They are also offering 8 hour shifts to work in DOs nearest the staff’s usual MC to work, presumably as sorters or posties.

Meet at their usual MC AND, presumably be busses in and back.
