Totally hammered again with a load of MS3 being out through and tomorrow it looks like the same :sad: plus the fact that the MC is now sending it down in bags again (it must save the MC money but it costs the DOs).

We've had two horrendous days on the trot, Tuesdays are normally quite light and the full timers normally have a shorter day, but not today, some Reckon RM are pulling monthly mags early to get them out before the strikes start, and to reduce backlog afterwards !!

When we were comoing back in the floor was full of yorks with yet more flats for tomorrow.

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.

Back in after a few days off and my long weekend. Our office was on strike on Saturday. The impact was unbelievable. They are having to get us off the IPS earlyish to try and get us out. Magazines everywhere, will take a week to get strait I reckon.

If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Boooooooom. really heavy

mailsort didnt go out and i'd say near 50% of packets didnt either.

Plenty of 5pm finishes

sick calls didnt help from those smart enough to know the day after a mail centre strike and bank holiday would be horrific

Still all the PT guys got a few hours OT which all normally goes to the FT staff
