just wondering???

Post by iamnotadoormat »

as some of our Mainland offices have already got their revision in, i was just wondering if they changed your starting times. We got a "glimpse" of our new times and it is just a joke. every day we start at a different time. our start time at the minute is 630 but under the proposals our start times r (mon - 730, tue - 745, wed - 740, thurs - 732, fri - 730, sat - 745) absolute joke, will have to buy a good alarm clock with programmable alarms. To be honest we dont know if we are coming or going!!!!!!!!!

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.

When our revision comes in (been delayed for another week :roll: ) we will be starting 07:00 to 14:30 mon tue the rest of the week 06:30 to 14:30.

I think it all depends on how quick the walk sequenced letters can be dispatched to your office. Its great if your office has the machines right beside you because the times won't be changed i don't think. I just feel sorry for the offices that have to wait another hour +, more pressure to get those specials delivered on time.

With the new walks (park & loop) just about in place the dom will tell who ever to deliver the specials first even if the specials are at the other end of the walk lets say it takes you 10 mins more. But in that situation if it were a busy day and it did take me an extra 10 minutes more than usual then i would certainly take some more time off delivering mail...a little pressure from us alot more for the doms.

732....745....740 seem to be more like hours to be worked for the day rather than start times....but that wouldnt be right cos u get longer hours on a tuesday.
