And I'm fully expecting manager to have lapsed duties.

Surely this goes against union policy.

Tell 'em milk but no sugar at about 06.20 on the IPS... I'll give them my breakfast order a bit closer the time. Now form an orderly queue please and no pushing at the back!

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.

2 of the lapsed duties are without holders, the 3rd is on light duties.

Another lapsed duty has been created by moving a holder onto another free duty.

Getting a tad silly now.

Thought lapsing was only done if extra members of staff were on holiday over and above the set amount allowed off per week or
if the sick absence is high? Doesnt sound like either in your office McLovin
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

Manager not interested in the why's and wherefores of lapsing, only interested in putting as many obstacles in our way to prevent anyone from finishing before their time.

Why not, we dont need to return to office.

Last manager was pretty fine with this as long as the lapsing was done.

New manager just puts more lapsing on, even if it means he's got fellas doing nothing.

Seems a bit petty to me.
