Dont put the weight on your back if you can't fit all the work in the leave it behind or if you have managers with rose tinted glasses then take it out and bring it back,we have the same problem in ours the part time staff have not got the time in the duty to do all the work so they are trying to force them into doing o/t to compleat the duty so in real terms they are working full time it's just that when they are on leave or sick then they just get part time money what a saving for RM.

Spoodoo! Chill! Do what they say, do your own job and take no notice of anyone else. First thing I do when I get to my frame is throw off my d2d, then and only then do I start on the mail etc.............if I'm not prepped by meal relief then tough! I just carry on afterwards and if that means the rest of my van is waiting SO WHAT?!

Once you realise that there is nothing the management can do if you're doing your job properly you will relax and might even find yourself enjoying the job once you leave the office. And never, ever, EVER take any bags out over 16kgs. Mind your matrix and stick to it like glue

I actually carry less d2d's per bag than i used to.

Would usually hammer them on a Monday take them to every address I hit + all houses with no gates.

Now I take 30-40 per bag per day which is nothing really.

spood,chill with the CAPS mate.

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.
