Presumably, you are quicker now and therefore need less time in which to sort, therefore, you should be bagged-up for the time with which the driver is familiar: if this is not so, then you are in fact not up to speed on throwing out your frame. It would be better for you if you got up to speed and after that, considered changing your hours, accordingly.

I also have a long walk home.
It's up to the management to get your bags out to you whenever you need them not for you to work extra to accommodate them
If you have any problems, and before posting in these (or any other) forums it is better to consider speaking to the people immediately involved with a given issue which you are facing: you will most likely find that the majority of people, postmen, drivers and then managers in your delivery office are friendly and will be able to help you with any questions or concerns you might have. I have found that at regular intervals throughout the day, people from the team are asking me how I am doing (I am a new postie also), all of the managers take care a lot of over how I am doing and generally, if I am a new to a procedure, there is always someone there to give me a guiding hand.

I have found that the best thing to do - if you have an issue - is to speak to the person concerned: this is just a point about general communication: just have a word with the driver and explain you are having such-and-such a problem and can he/she advise you about it. If they say that they cannot or the issue is not resolved in this way, ask them if they know who would be best to ask, and proceed in this way. You should get along fine. While the forum is here to help, posting messages here would normally be better used as a last resort: all the support you need as a new postman is available elsewhere, as I've detailed.

Hope that helps.

Bless you,you little newbie postie you.

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.

Majeed, you're obviously on the way to being on the front page of the Courier! :chuckle :chuckle :wink: :wink:

I wonder what happened to Majeed, he's not been on here for months :hmmmm
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
