6.30 start on a saturday

Post by Mr Blonde »

Until recently we've started at 5am so to be pushed back by a full hour and half totally kills any chance of doing anything worthwhile on a saturday or saturday afternoon.

What a bag of s**t this job has become.

Just get on with it, or find another job is the best advice you will get here mate
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

We were told the same today. 6.30 start from 21/08
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I think he sounds like someone who he as pissed off with it as everyone else actually.

How old are you people FFS? "He sounds like a manager". Grow up.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant 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.
