3am? WTF is wrong with people? I don't even get out of bed until 6.30 on Mon/Tues, it's bliss tbh after all the years of getting up at 4.30. I'd still prefer to start earlier but the lie in is lovely :nana

So long as they're getting paid for the overtime, rather than coming in early for free. What's the problem? :confused

Yes i am a full timer. No one in my office apart from the manager gets a day off! I tried bringing it up with the previous manager to no avail. Its something to do with us all signing an SA agreement when we first joined up to say we would work Saturdays. Even though they are classed as overtime it is compulsory, unless you have asked in advance and been given permision not to come in. (Sats do not come off our annual leave).
I started a thread or at least mentioned about it all on a thread a while ago...
Just say NO ....to the new agreement.

0630 Mon-Sat, at my SPDO. We have another SPDO (1 duty) which doesn't start until we've done the primary sorting and run the mail down there... 0800 :shock:

I'm part-time, start at 9am on weekdays and 7am on Saturdays. Not terrible start times compared to some, I'm hoping it will be quite some time until we 'catch up' with the rest of you and start work at 10am/whatever.

Why are FTers starting later than 7am??

As someone said before no FTer should be starting after 7.

No we havent had a revision yet, soon there will be, within the next few weeks were implementing WSM, which, due to the fact theyre rushing it in, will be an unequivocal disaster.

Semantics and a wooly agreement mclovin...
As part of the operational transformation the vast majority of full time delivery duties will start no later than 0700.

When I'm on the reps duty I start at 5.30, when the reps on it he starts whenever he can be bothered to get his arse out of his pit. All other duties in the office are different start times every day, latest start time for a F/T is 6.30.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
