I don't understand your post at all ?

In our office the gaffer only makes us prep walks till 8 when it used to half past.
He asks us to do 15 mins of a walk which we have time to do because he's got part timers in earlier.
I dunno what problem is.We moan cos gaffers are crap but when we get one that tries to be fair you get someone making a stupid post that doesn't make sense.

Why not create a full time job on the walk youre doing 15 mins of and ditch the part time duty.

Can I ask if anyone is being told to go over their 3.5 hour delivery span as per national agreement? If so why are we doing it?
3.5hours should mean any combination of your own walk plus any absorption. I appreciate RM managers take a different view but this is the foundation of my current disagreement.
I'll see how it goes but I'm not too worried as I'm more or less to time as it is now so can't see me doing any outdoor absorption(famous last words...)
