The last one i attended was in november we now have "huddles" instead,the manager comes into isle reads some stuff off sheet dom gave him then buggers of back into office.

A few times i have been asked to sign a sheet saying i attended a WTLS when the manager knows i've only been in building 2 minutes.

Theres seems to be a trend developing here. I thought there was a national agreement on this. The managers will try anything to get more work out of some staff in our delivery office.

It's part of your working week and you are entitled to
30 mins off the floor ( i know it's the same crap they
come out with at each session)I have been asking this
question for years and no one (union or management)
will give me an answer, if they don't hold the WTLL
then we are due the 30 mins from them ....be that
an extra break or an earlier finnish.Or they could
just buy the 30 mins back from us :wink:

If you want to,you could demand one if you have questions for the managers.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

They would rather lapse rounds on an easy Tuesday than have a WTL session, haven't had one for 6 weeks in our office now, not that we learn anything anyway :cuppa
