ithink the reason there trying to push this in is because the the rounds are to big to complete within our current hours mon-fri 6.30-14.30 and sat 6.00-14.00, i think it worked out at 9hrs-45mins for 4 days. are your times minus your tea breaks etc ?.

These times include 20 min MR before out the door and 20 mins when you return. The deliveries are big though don't get me wrong.

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.

I would find out the delivery span before you get too excited..and the attendance pattern.
If it's a fixed 4 day week with fixed days off....not so good. :sad:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Have never heard of the fixed days off 4 day week,not for full timers anyway.
What would be the point?Where has this come from?
