If your night shift then you'll probably be back in on the Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning at midnight. tbh I don't see the point though as there won't be much point with no mail coming in

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.

Re: Xmas & Boxing Day 2010
You mean Rhyl? And why ANYONE would wanna go there is beyond me...
I went back to work last year thinking I was gonna have a lovely day after being hammered on the parcels before xmas. But no, they'd decided to bring back lapsing hadn't they
so people had left stuff in the frames so they could complete on time. Muggins ere ended up delivering half of a round I'd never done before and a bundle only did about 10 houses what with all the catalogues and shite in em.
And Studio/Ace/Whatever they're called sending out Xmas 2011 booklets just as Xmas 2010 is over ffs... Honestly, it could wait a week or two couldn't it?!

Re: Xmas & Boxing Day 2010
You would think so, but no, RM want to take anything and everything on asap. Boost thier performance profits up so the spanners at the top can justify paying themselves even bigger bonuses again come april.Aprilaydee wrote:You mean Rhyl? And why ANYONE would wanna go there is beyond me...

Re: Xmas & Boxing Day 2010
I was thinking more about why the COMPANY wants to send the stuff out before the festive period has even finished! It's like deciding what you want for next xmas as soon as you've opened your presents.
