If last letter is 3pm for towns...

Post by mclovin »

...how is it that a model I have seen (from a neighbouring office), where the revision will be fully implemented a week before the Xmas pressure, has 3.30pm as their finish time. This office is very close to the MC and I think will be last off the WSM's.

Strangely enough we would be on that list too, but havent even started the revision process.

Pah, I've been out on overtime after 3pm before (as late as 4.10pm).

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.

Last letter 1500
Travel back/pouch off 1515
Last part of meal relief? 1535


Might be something like that giving a 1530 finish?

Christmas, four years ago, when I was wet behind the ears the lino asked me if I wanted some overtime to do relief bags as it was so heavy, even by Christmas pressure standards. I said yes, and was allowed to book an hour and a half for each bag - which was just as well, as I didn't get finished that day until 6.20, by which point it was pitch dark and pissing down with rain. Never again :crazy:

Wrong!!!

They have to work backwards from 3pm and include your break WITHIN those hours, not at the end. You may take all your break in the middle, but you'd still need to finish by 3pm.

ANY office who does otherwise is being pished on from above.

F*** it, I deliver up until I'm finished or I get too bored to continue no matter what time it is (TBH it's rare to be out later than 3pm but it does happen sometimes).
