It's not any kind of science it's nonsense if the whole office is scheduled to leave at the same time and finish at the same time...which it should be.
Not really true that there is it chief?
What part of it isn't true?
That all walks should be scheduled to leave at the same time or they should all be equal?
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

How many revisions we had over the last few years and there are still offices with dodgy walks and the way the office is run is like a scene from wacky races. :cuppa

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.

Ehhh - A title is merely an indicator of a topic - it cant be divisive in off itself, only the contributions can be. For example War and Peace - that could be considered a divisive title, but the book isn't unless you read it that way.

Take a drop in hours if you want them so bad!
Of course we are miffed why should someone be given a full time walk after only a couple of months in the job,yet someone whos shown 8 years loyalty get nothing,you are either a wind up merchant royal,or a part timer.
Is there (or do you have) a problem with 'part timers'?

Walks are not full time nor part time. A walk is a walk. The full/part time element is what is done for before the walk. In my 6 hours I do everything except IPS.

I have posted on here recently that I would find being a reserve (on a 30hr week) funny. Because I could never complete ; even on a light day.

Please don't chastise part timers . It does not help at all.

As a BTW.. I had someone ask me today why I did not do IPS. I had to carefully explain that as I don't start until 08:00 ; I found it rather difficult to manage that.
