handed the printout to my dom this morning. his face was a picture, "where did you get this from" he then went away reading it only to return 5 mins later laughing saying "look at the date, things have changed since then it's all about flexability these days" and some other bull. one of the names on the printout is at the moment helping me with a letter of greivance against said dom so a quick phone call to confirm and bingo the doms boss will be informed as well :Very Happy

Just say to him,the P&M agreement was signed in 2007,we are in 2009 and nearly 2010,so i guess that agreement is out of date as well,all flexing and lapsing is now cancelled!

Rule of thumb to all dumb arse managers,the last agreement is the latest agreement regardless of the date!!

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.

There has been no revision to or repeal of this agreement since the date it was signed by both parties. It is therefore the current agreement and he is a twat. :dance :nana :funneh :Very Happy

btw the laws against murder in this country date back to 1861. Doen't make them any less valid today!!!

Well done matey :Applause :Applause :Applause :Applause

Personally i take mine home on a saturday and fold them all at the kitchen table ( daughter likes to help ) then i put them into small bundles and just place a small d2d bundle behind normal mail bundle ( 1 d2d from the back then normal mail from the front easy :dance ) i use to to put them in the frame with the mail but found it was to much faffing about, so i now find it easier to do it that way.

As for 20% a day sometimes i do sometimes i deliver them all in 1 go, just depends on how i feel,mail volume,weather ect.....the dom dosn't care how they get delivered as long as they all done . :Very Happy

how can it be classed as normal mail ???? its addressed to nobody ???? therefore i am taking nobodys mail home !!! if this is the case then it looks like half our DO are in big trouble :Boo hoo! . like i said as long as the d2d is delivered our DOM'S are happy with it. :dance :nana Plus i would rather sit in the comfort of my own home and do than in the DO. I LIKE D2D, EASY MONEY ii would do more if the limit wasn't 3 :nana :nana

This activity is the reason Royal Mail is cutting jobs and working conditions.

The more people do for RM in their own time the more cuts and job losses RM will make. FACT.

Prep 20% your D2D's in RMs time and claim OT for the hassle if you cant get out in time. As you say " i might as well make as much money out of it as possible "

the dim was back in work today so i asked him about prepping d2d in works time. he needs a revolving christmas tree inserting in him. what a load of bull he gave me, he wouldn't say i had to do them in my own time but didn't exactly say i could do them in works time. he did say that next week i would be bagging my own walk for 30 mins and then delivering it, they are 4 hour walks. total 4hr 30 mins which is the exact amount of time i work each day after my break. i hope he doesn't think i will be running around on delivery to make time to prep my d2d because he will be very disappointed. i will do as i did today and always do, phone to say i am cutting off and if he can't get anyone else to deliver it he will have to do it himself.
