Most will take the Saturdays off.

Not all though. I like a rest day during the week.

Where will this leave floaters, if duty holders would rather work Monday to Friday?

On that rolling day if they’re in but I’m due to cover that walk, who gets moved?

Excellent statement by the union putting the horrible little GERMAN in his place.

My theory for the softer approach by RM is the amount of money coming in is huge, they don’t want to mess that up.

Realistically all the time that social distancing is in place for, most little shops won't be able to open as once you've more than a couple next to each other to keep to the 2m one queue will be in the road, then for people who don't want them shops to keep 2m away from the queues they'd be well into the road.

Just a question, but if half the office decide to take the Saturday of, who is going to sort the more than double the amount of parcels that are due for delivery?

It actually does matter, the same as it mattered when they parachuted in Greene from Canada. The Royal Mail is a Great British Institute and regardless of what people have heard in recent times it is something that the nation holds close to its heart. Bringing in foreigners who have no understanding of how the business has embedded itself into British history over the last 500 years and how it operates amongst our communities is exactly by we find ourselves in the current mess, a mess created over the last 8 or so years since these two got their grubby mitts on it. Just because their nationality is brought up you snowflakes don’t need to scream racism at every opportunity.

a weds/thurs off is nice to split the week up but if you like a chill with a pizza and a few lagers knowing you're off the next day then if i've worked i'm usually too knackered and asleep early,
whereas a sat off, you can have a decent pop, film and a takeaway and get a sunday lay in, hence why i like the long weekends 1in6, and can do it again on a sunday

I’m not casting aspersions, but 9/10 times I see the term ‘snowflake’ it is being uttered in either a racist comment or used by a racist.

the great british government is the only 1 to blame for selling it off in the 1st place
we're a private company now owned by shareholders from all over the world so any nationality frowned upon is our own nations doing
they appoint a ceo to make as much money as possible by hook or crook, if born in hamburg or hamilton it is academic
