Working your day off for RM will never make you rich ,you'll wake up one day and realise your no better off than the who doesn't,that's if you live as long as the one who doesn't that's why its called a rest day,as i've said if you have nothing else in your life then carry on and devote your life to RM or work all your rest days for a couple of years to buy that new car that will get you from a to b the same as mine.

Mate, you are on an internet forum at 7.25am on a Sunday. Your ‘life’ is obviously as fulfilling as ours.
So the secret of a long and happy life by these life coaches who all happen to work for Royal Mail is to worry yourself sick what others are doing. Personally when I started Royal Mail I lived in a bedsit , skint. Next month I'll pay off my mortgage of my £500,000 home and will retire in a few months at 60. ALL paid for by working long hours at Royal Mail. But thanks for the free advice over the years from the "get a life brigade." Granted I had the best years but I'd never knock anyone who wants to work.

I enjoy my life and I still enjoy the job. The only day off I don’t work is a Saturday, unless I have the following week off then I don’t mind so much.
Its your outlook on life that determines your happiness.

Totally agree. I work 6 days every week except when it's my Saturday off which at the minute is still one in four. Hour overtime in the mornings to prep and working my day off helps pay the bills. Fingers crossed I can get myself out of royal mail in the coming months but until then it's ALL about supplying for my family, not for the love of the job.

Exactly. I work for money. Family and bills always come first.

Meanwhile part timers haven't got any chance in getting a full time contract while all these people are constantly working all the OT they can
Meanwhile part timers haven't got any chance in getting a full time contract while all these people are constantly working all the OT they can
Can understand that comment, but that's the system that's in place with or without the agreement of CWU - the history
of it (as I understand it) was that in the past the union agreed to a OT rate on a par with normal pay rates, then decreasing
to discourage people working OT and thereby encourage more employement whether at F/T or P/T, but it's clear some people
are willing to do OT even at lower rates and RM of course are not going to say no......kerching......
I think the best policy is to write down all your income and outgoings in a diary and present them to your colleagues as I'm sure they have trouble sleeping at night.
My office has recently introduced time off in lieu (TOIL)
it's an absolute game changer, I'm effectively working 4 day weeks now. So much better for work/life balance & mental health.
could you elaborate on that mate, if stuff like this was brought in lots of offices people might be more willing moving forward
Put simply, our o/t sheets have a tick box option if you want to credit the hours towards TOIL instead of getting paid for them.
We can hold TOIL hours up to our weekly contract hours and use them pretty much as we please & it's continuous throughout the year. Use some of your hours for a day off? You can do more o/t & credit it back.there are occasional refusals for the time off, peak summer etc but these are few & far between.
I did over 150 hours TOIL last year & took loads of extra days off
Works great in our office, we've just had the first week of the leave year & I worked 17 hours overtime, all of it credited to TOIL.
Can highly recommend.

Can't see that happening at our office, if anyone asks for an odd day off more than likely the answer is no, and that's usually before you've even said when it is.
