Early Morning Starts

Post by Eric Cantona »

They shouted out early morning overtime in my office this morning. Jeesus you should have seen all the gobshites run to the list when early and Saturdays and Sundays was shouted.
I asked the D.O.M what is the Sunday hours are, he told me “3.pm till 7pm” he is having a laugh. There will roast beef and gravy running down my chin at that time.
These are the first people to complain as well when the going gets tough. Its only because these machines cannot cope with the mail. The mail was supposed to come in to the office this morning sequenced but came in at 8 30 am un-sequenced.
Its no wonder we are in limbo in this company when gobshites make it work all the time.
Most of the ealy starters throw Naff all off anyway and then prep their own walk. what a cheek...
After Christmas it will be back to Sack as many as you can, the longer the service they have the better.

Why the malice towards people wanting to earn a little extra? It's an expensive time of year for families so good luck to them.

Yes,there should be a list and also everyone should of been asked or made aware of what was available.

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.

Ive no trouble with that and in the past (when it was much easier) i used to work OT nearly every day. The few that will start at 4am will be dead on their feet by the time they finish. :sad:
