how long is your walk

Post by ice man »

Let try and see how long all the walks are now days.

My duty now takes 4hrs and we have to flex up on one duty all year and flex up on two dutys in the summer months when dom says mail has dropped off lol .
if we try to cut off after 3.5hr hours he says you are paid till 2.35pm so dont come back till then.

My duty is supposed to be 5 3/4 hours.

Start 6:30 am

IPS finnishes 8:15am

I rarely got out before 9am

That leaves me 3 3/4 hrs to do a times 4:30 walk :crazy: :crazy:

So I get a green card for 30 mins a day :d'oh!

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.

Why would he be taking the piss? 5½ to 6¼ hours is standard now in my office, if you don't believe me then just wait until RM reorganise your office and then you'll know.

add 200+ calls added to my town round taking it up to 840ish this was only temporary to help out, 7 months later I am still doing it, dont mind too much as the extra cash is very handy. I can also work to my time when it suits me without any hassle.

my round normall takes 4.5-5.5 hours, normally 5, the last 2 days it has been 6.5.
