Cant get this out my system.

Post by shimmyrule »

Weve got 3 options for duty structures, 5 day week, rotatin day off, 9 day f/night, and a 4 day week, 2 diff days off every week.
7 oclock starts for all but the 4 day week, half 5 for that.

We are told saturday is 2nd busiest day, and all options give us chance of half 5 start on saturdays?
How the f**k can theyy get the mail through on saturday for half 5, but not the rest of the week?
Also, these duties give us a max of 100 staff, mostly full time, depending on what comes after we all have a vote on which of the 3 duties we want to be batched into.

Now, we have 132 staff at mo, and 20 of them are temps, but we are hearing that the law now states that because they have been with us for over 2 years, they are part of the staffing in our office and management/the business cannot just give them the heave ho.

If the cwu is successful in fighting this, then surely the evr s will kick in, fingers crossed, as we will have a surplus of 32 staff!!!

Surely every office must be the same.

Not every office is the same. Rural offices don't really have much choice in staffing levels due to the size and distance from the MC.

The 2 year thing is wrong,it's 4 years,we've had loads of that on here.
Also go for the 4 day week,it's the bollox.
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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The cockpit? What is it?
It's a small room at the front of the plane where the pilots sit but that's not important right now
