i have been at RM for over 3 years and can fully relate to what you are going through.

im on a 25hr contract though i have one of the largest duties in the office.

i found out the hard way and after a couple of years of it i did cut off on a day that suited me, the office had all duties covered and i left my last bag in the frame told DOM and left the building.

an hour later both managers turned up in a van with the bag of mail and put me under extreme presure to deliver it, i was very upset and foolishly agreed to take it.

that evening i sat a wrote a diary of the day and next day i presented it to the CWU rep and told him i wanted to report the DOM for B&H.

this was over a year ago and though the CWU bottled it after confronting the manager i put it down on the next have your say questionaire (no doubt the manager knew exactly who had writen it) but i now cut off whenever i need to.

i helped out with OT over the xmas period 2010 and as im sure you are aware jan 2011 has been even heavier but im now cutting off regularly and the managers are having to take the mail out :left:

make sure all your indoor work is complete then decide where you finish and leave the mail.

all the best, jonny.

Then you can't tie down then.
Can your rep count?

You can't refuse to tie down,you can't refuse to prep.do redirections or whatever.
What you can do is inform management of the impact that doing all of this stuff will have on your potential delivery span.
If you are doing a 4hr delivery and end up with an hours indoor work then you can only do a 3hr delivery and either "flex up" the other hour or cut off....your choice.
If you start refusing to tie down or prep or whatever you will just walk straight into their trap and get done for what they consider refusing a reasonable request.
I know that and you know that ect,my point was which obviously wasn't written properly is if she has been given those figures then it's impossible to tie down.

I'm f***ing sick to death of wank managers,wank reps and wank colleagues who just don't give a f**k of what's going on with each other.
The firm and most in it is a f***ing joke.

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 certainly second that emotion
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

there is a load of other stuff i could go on for days but i won't boar you with it all!
I would go above your rep. 90% of these reps are only in it for themselves. A lot of people will come on here and shout me down, but believe me , that's the honest truth. The reps nowadays are toothless against managers. This all down to the cretins at the top. Ward and Hayes, thanks very much for your hard work. :left: ;liar
