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 only someone had told RM that a few years back. Their obsession with making people work their hours, changing the working day, changing the methods of delivery, has cost them £millions and damaged the postal service beyond repair.

9 day fortnights are great every 4 weeks we have fri,sat,sun mon off cant beat it.But offices that are told there will be no shift changes need to read the agreement as it says that 1 saturday off in 4 is the minimum if the workers want it,so its up to you guys to make sure you get it if you want it.

Full timers in my office get 1 in 3 off, part timers get 0 in 3 off...............now there is an equitable solution, at least in the winners and losers scenario.
