What time are you allowed to leave your DO

Post by markis »

What time are you allowed to leave your DO to do your delivery. We're not allowed out until 10.00am, all duties need to be prep'd by F/T for the P/T 's who now have been told to come in at 9.00 am instead of 7.00 am.If you don't take your meal relief before you leave the office you can't book it on the end , and you've still got to finish your delivery for 2.00 pm.

your dom just being a pr##k, but it really doesn`t matter just say fine and work to your time and if there is any left tell him to do it. But remember there will be a time when he/she wants you to go out before that, lapsed duty for example and then you just have your break and tell him/her that you were told not to leave before 10 this means that you are now not able to do your lapsing, so the phrase "cake and eat it" should be quoted along with a big smile

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
