Exactly, but it just means me cutting off more, no way am I working past 5pm...............anytime of the year (especially Saturdays).bringon4dayweeks wrote:its fine getting a lie in but it will be dark in winter when your half way round bring back the torch and whos going to work over after 5pm doing half a walk or even pressure ?? madDGP1 wrote:Looking at 9-5 in my office................and we're really close to the MC
Another agreement victory by the CWU (I'm sure we'll get blamed by certain union apologists).
I know of offices now that don't start until 9am who will have their starting times pushed back by a few hours........at this rate of going we'll end up starting a 4am because it'll take those extra hours to put the mail through the machines (so much for modernisation).

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Being to the MC means you'll get your mail later than offices further away.DGP1 wrote:Looking at 9-5 in my office................and we're really close to the MC

Re: 7am starts
Yeah that'd be nice wouldn't it. We've moved to later starts (7am) and are 40 miles from mail centre. Closer DO's still getting mail earlier and lorries not turning up to us until 7.30. MC's won't stop feathering their own nests to help out rural DO's. It's always been the same and probably always will be!Hitcher wrote:Being to the MC means you'll get your mail later than offices further away.DGP1 wrote:Looking at 9-5 in my office................and we're really close to the MC
Although they are doing incredibly well with the sequenced mail (i think not). Yesterday of four trays of walk sorted letters.. half a tray was sequenced. And walk logs were completed months ago.

Could be that you start delivering yesterdays mail at 9am then come back into the DO to chuck in todays mail for tomorrows delivery. Progress

Re: 7am starts
Not a bad idea though DGP. It would stop all the runners, as we would then all be finishing at the same time.

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.
