Scheduled Attendance?

Post by rose »

Thought it was going with revision but seems at NR5 the planner is now revising his revision to include scheduled attendance? Any other offices doing this?

Our office has lost a lot of collections on SA. With the later starts, and longer deliveries, the Planner was trying to Tag what used to be our late collections onto the end of the duties! :sad: Makes sense in one way but it's a shame the office is losing the opportunity for a bit of overtime.

Doesn't P&M still stand with 'reasonable local earnings package'?

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.

If you want to maintain/increase full time staff - how do you square that with SA?
Why should one group of workers stay on 30hr contracts so another lot can work 50hrs/week?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Fair comment and i'm with you just pointing out an agreement.

SA is dangerous as it's one of the 1st things they look to absorb during cuts.

we worked out that we can have an extra 7-10 part-time staff made up to fulltime if our f/t rep & his f/t cronnies didnt do the afternoon collections on SA.

Then that's the way to go.
