I presume they have not made proposals to remove hours then?

They can't as they are too busy drinking tea and watching us sorting. Then seemingly going blind when people just walk past them to prep their own walks. Hey as long as 2 or 3 are willing to do the work why stop them?

The managers in my office cut and tip mail all the time. One also sorts it. Our rep has tackled them about it but they do it when no one is around. The best though is when they hide the missorts when the quality guy comes in. I've been handed some trays of mail on several occassions and with a nod and a wink been asked to, "take these trays for a little run in your van". It's all ammunition I can use against them if they start any s**t with me.

YES THEY SORT ALL THE TIME IN OUR OFFICE.
THEY ARE ALLOWED TO, AS BEFORE THEY WAS NOT ALLOWED TO ,SOMETHING CALLED RANK AND FILE.
YEARS AGO WE WOULD WALK OF THE FLOOR IF A MANAGER STARTED SORTING ETC.
IT HAS ALL CHANGED NOW THEY CAN DO IT.

You've got more chance of seeing Lord Lucan riding past on Shergar lit up by the glow from Haley's Comet that you have of seeing our 'managers' doing any meaningful work.
