Day off today asked to work it by my manager. The plan was to do a york of packets and 10 bags for 2 postman.

When i got there he changed it to two yorks and was still gona give me 6 hours. I kicked up for the simple reason

A senior man last week worked his day off done 1 york of packets 10 bags and got 8 hours? It only took him 4 okay so he scored 4 for nothing

Then my manager said if your getting paid 6 hours you'll work 6 hours??????? Bad memory or TRYING to take advantage of younger guy?

What do you think?

Hes s**t scared of the senior postie more like :shhhhh Goes on in every office up and down the country,tell your Dom you know what went on with the senior man,if he pulls that one on you again then you will be taking a grievance out on him :Very Happy He should be treating everyone the same,that will be a little reminder for him.

Bravo brother and re next time for O/T ask for it in writing or tell him to shove it!
