OVERTIME BAN IMPOSED BY ROYAL MAIL NEXT WEEK - you have been warned !

Since the real hot issue is quality of service and the business is massively understaffed I very much doubt it, there's so much overtime at my place next week they can't find enough warm bodies to cover it.

Our overtime ban was this week Woody, it appears they may be doing this office by office rather than all out. Not a second of OT at ours this week.

Not that I do any.

Yes,our office is in so much s**t its a free for all with overtime,its amazing what money does to people.

Yeah it really is just think what they can do without money.

A decent weekly wage should be enough for anyone without the need to throw your mates under the bus for money,maybe you are one

Thought we were badly paid according to quite a few on here.so how to hell are you throwing people under a bus by doing ot seriously.and what about pts are they getting a decent wage.do bits an pieces of ot every little helps to pay the bills an lead a half decent life.

Half a decent life.

I obviously can't speak for the Delivery Offices, but an overtime ban would be devastating to CE - there are literally individual campaigns (not even offices, or entire sections, just an individual single workflow) that are using 120 - 140 hours per week of OT just to stay afloat.

And that's after robbing peter to pay paul by re-arranging staff and cross training people to cover - and before the big summer holidays and term time leave kicks in.

I know they generally don't care about CE (and neither does the Union, since we got screwed out of a bonus this year) but I can't imagine any other back office role is doing any better, given low staffing has been a reality for the past 10+ years.
