REDUCING MY HOURS

Post by PTpostie01 »

I work 25 hours a week over 5 days with a day off mid week. Is it possible to ask for my hours to be reduced to 15 working over 3 week days? I have done the job and the same walk for 3 years.

Someone in my office works 16 hrs over 2 days a week only. Another has the mail for the walk prepped, bagged and delivered to his house, he gets 4 hours a day for delivering it (family friendly).

I suppose you could ask and ask for the other 2 days to be put out on docket.But that costs extra and managers won't like that.
Maybe you could suggest this when you have your new revisions.

Would you want it temp or all the time? Have you spoken to your rep?

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.
