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.

What are you all moaning about ? We are working shorter days , if you can’t complete your duty , that’s royal mails problem. Honestly, anything to have a moan , the aspiration has always been to get us down to a 35 hour week , we get that for a while and you all cry about it :arrrghhh

yup, haven't completed my duty this week. Who cares ? Work your hours and go home.

Why would you walk 12 miles when you can walk 8 miles for same money.

Can we just keep 35 hour weeks in exchange for a 6 week period of 39 hour weeks at Christmas? Sounds like a good deal. It’s just as busy now as it was in September when we were on early starts :chuckle

Maybe that’s what the union are thinking, would make sense and help with the later finishes most of the year.

The longer we are on the low variation then the longer we are on the higher variation. I don’t want to be on the higher variation for longer than necessary. So in answer to your question, no I wouldn’t rather be working longer per day, but I will have to when they decide it’s time to
