Axminster Delivery Office working their days of for no pay.

Post by Geezer »

Is anyone on here from Axminster Delivery Office Devon.

Was told today that they have signed a no overtime agreement, and will complete their duties without claiming no matter how long they go over,
Even more worryingly they are working their days of for no pay.
Apparently this is so they don't have to do summer lapsing.

IS THIS TRUE

ANY INFO ANYONE

If this is correct they need their F%*king heads testing.

Thanks

I know of some offices who work 1 rest day during the summer for nothing so that they do not have to absorb any duties.

Some offices HAVE struck a deal where they work a rest day or 2 so they don't lapse,so the offices get their savings straight away and a lot easier.

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.

Yes. But why would they agree to do COMPULSARY free overtime? :shock:
It's hard enough, understanding why someone would want to do free overtime anyway. But to make it compulsary, is shocking! :crazy: :d'oh! :roll: :crazy:

As far as I'm concerned any OT has to be paid and any agreement otherwise would be on very dodgy grounds. If I work 2 minutes OT I'd expect to get paid.

We have the tick system in place and some people have worked their days off for ticks, basically free, to get all your ticks for the year you could work 3 of your days off :crazy: or lapse the equivalent of 3 walks :neutral:
