He's right,but it's called lapsing or absorbing.

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.

Jimmy Carr`s laugh wrote:We are the only office in our area who still do lapsing - and its because even with lapsing, people are coming back with form left packets at 12 to 12:45 every day ,and are being seen by managers - so we cant argue about not having the time.

The reason for this is becasue the nobs we work with , 80% start well before their time, and the majority take all their d2d on monday/tuesday, oh and use cars.

If everyone started on time, took their d2ds over the week , and used bikes, we`d never complete and never lapse at all , at any time of the year. But its like talking to brick walls FFS :Boo hoo!
I trust you come in on time, don't use your car and do your sixth of D2D daily oh and take your full MR!

He is right :sad: as long as time exists within your working hours he can ask you to lapse. Job and knock is over and this is one of the repercussions.
