You do what ever a manager tells you.If this takes you over your time and you don't want to do OT
Ask him, what part of the duty, does he want you to leave in.

It's a hybrid.
It's not a case of O/T...it's a case of being late for his collection and i think the answer is in the question.
Take your break and be late for your collection a couple of times and see what happens.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

firstly you are on an 8 hour duty so meal relief is only 40 mins, i'm guessing you deliver till 3 then return to office take the 40 mins then do your collection ( I
don't know how far out your duty is just going on our furthest rural that takes approx 20 mins max to return to office normally, span is slightly bigger than yours)

15 mins to bundle? how many drops?

I would be asking who preps your walk and what time they leave the office and do they have to sort as well as prep both duties?( I am bearing in mind they have to bundle their duty too) if they have already left the office when you arrive for work then I would think it reasonable for you to expect that your redirections and kill offs have already been done when you arrive especially the redirections as they would need to be circulated befopre everyone leaves

what is the normal time out in your office for others that don't start at 10?

so if you leave at approx 10:15 and finish delivering at 3 that is a span of 4:45 is that about right?

I would think if you write everything down, your bundling time ( with redirections, kill offs etc etc) what it takes you on a normal day, your delivery span, your break and your collection schedule then you could take it to your manager WITH the questions I have highlighted about the person who is currently prepping your duty, then you could have a case to ask for your duty to be tested and see where you go from there

I stress put this all in writing and indicate that you require a response

you may get a better response from this than just asking every day why things are not done

hope this helps!

or cut off on the delivery to start ontime for your collection! Seems like a management issue

Does your rep know you don't get time to have a break,if he's aware of it,get a new rep.

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.

And threads merged and one deleted.
We're good on here so no need for 3 threads with the same question in.
