we had 2 senior managers in this morning telling us the revisions will be in very quickly.
they told us RM only had enough cash to operate for 4 weeks and the implmentation must go through without setback.
our DO has also been valued this morning. apparently they may need to put them up as collateral!!!!

If you get that you should bite their hand off,but 3.5hrs park and loop is near enough impossible unless you put duties 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-pick starts next week :Boo hoo! :Boo hoo! Start times look lkie 0700am they didn't mention finish times 1800pm i guess :cuppa :cuppa
Pick Duty
Pick duty format (Rotational day off,Wallington etc..) if you are way done the pecking order you won't get what you want and only be left with the s**t times :cry :cry :cry
Once picked no going back. :Sick :Sick :Sick
Then we said they will then add on what they like to duties after that :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

We also had 1 to 1 with manager
Asked Union rep if he had talked to manager about concerns he said he would do this after the re-pick
Whats going on. :so there :so there :so there

9 people want evr
But if there is evr's wanted i am sure within the law they cannot re-employ anyone for up to 6 months :confused :confused :confused

What a complete shambles :mad :mad :mad :mad

This is fun :nana :nana :nana

So much for a Family friendly company (Iam sure this was said to us before) PLEASE PLEASE LET ME WIN THE LOTTO THIS WEEK go on someone tell me i could leave the job at anytime :funneh :funneh :funneh :funneh

My guess is redsparta is a Scottish postie and the 3.5hr delivery will be a result of the tenement study.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Probably right.
The problem with a 3.5hr span is the indoor work to fill the gap and the level of part-timers you need to enable it.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
