Hang on in there it probably won't be anywhere near as bad as you think.

You are assuming last letter means completion of duty gb93.
Although i think 5 to 5 and a half hours will be what they are looking for on a 10hr day but 6 hrs is possible.
What do you think the delivery span(1st letter to last)will be on a 8 hour day.
With WSM and walksorted flats as we have it will be difficult to justify more than 2.5hrs indoor so.....about 4.5hrs...ish. :hmmmm
I'd say 4,travelling time and watnots.

Not on a 10 hr day - I still find it incredulous that you manage 6 hours indoor work on a ten hour day! :hmmmm

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.

We had a meeting with rep this morning.apparently not enough people have volunteered for change over
ie to do the drvinng of the cdvs in our office.so now if you are a driver you will gain seniority over ones
who cant drive,this is the carrot they are dangling now to get drivers.no one will be forced to drive according
to rep,but you may be placed elsewhere.not really fair on the 30 to 40 year men who cant drive.But at least we
have a choice not to drive :nana

Whatnots are what the managers dip in their tea every day.

Hobnobs are the conference calls I believe
