Apparently 1 in 3 saturday's off is linked to walk sequencing revision, if you've had that then you should be pushing for it

We had the revision last year and have 1 in 3 but only because part timers work every Thu,Fri,Sat....... it suits some but not others.

Re: Any Body Managed to get Saturdays off yet
No chance. Been told that because i am only 35 hours a week i don't deserve it.
I have mon off every week, which is quiet, the other p/t gets tues off, but the full timers get wed-sat off every 4 weeks. Busy days.

Re: Any Body Managed to get Saturdays off yet
I HATE working Saturdays no such thing as 1 in 3 sats off at our office its our SA day (in other words COMPULSORY overtime) which i really cant see how thats allowed as o.t is optional!! Theres always fighting/begging/swapping/bribing involved in getting saturdays off it really does my head in
Will they ever scrap saturdays or make them optional i'd like to hope so but i really can't see it ever happening 
Just say NO ....to the new agreement.

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.
