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.

happens at our place all the time...........in fact they have a postie who sorts out the overtime and gives himself the easiest walk in the office. its a four hour duty that takes only 2 hours.
And i have never seen a list to put your name on.

Nobody wants it in our office. Manager picks the same lad for tidying up the absorption walk. they only ask you on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday to work your day off. Never on a Light day when there is nowt on.. only four coming in early in our office now, that's only to shake the living daylights out of the Chocolate Machine befor D.O.M gets in, you should see what they get out of the machine after a good shake. I have told them if you get caught your up the road for a Mars Bar..

Put in an 'Ask Adam',stating your office ,what happens,ask how is overtime supposed to be allocated.Every time i have used this method it has changed the dodgy practices that go on in my office.

Same in our office, always the same people who get it, and they are always the ones who come in early - most of the time the O/T has been carved up before I even start (7.30 am).

Whoever said it's been going on for years is correct - there are times when people create a fuss and then lists appear for a short time but it soon returns to the same old same old. Some always get to work their day off and others are never asked.
