No, just keep going until they scrape you off the pavement.

Why not come in early and go on longer so they can scrape you off later ?

I'm sure there will be plenty of arguments on this what with the new agreement we've just got,but,i would say it's STILL 3:30hrs until you have got your new delivery methods,CDV's trolleys ect

Part of this agreement is to take the weight off of us and this 'could' mean longer del spans.But that is WHEN/AFTER you have had your new revisions,NOT NOW!!

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.

Do you have to inform your line manager if you think you are going to need scraping off the pavement? Is there a form for that?

Yes, so he can scrape the sh*t off the shovel before he gets to you!

RM managers usually think they can scrape you off their shoes, not the pavement.

I am very confused because i dont piss about with my honesty if i know that my duty on the day is too heavy
then i use the normal protocols of approaching management and stating the case with mildness
why do they react with intimidation why? where is our support dont please quote local rep. :confused
