Park and Loop...Lapsing ?

Post by countyboy »

Any offices been through a full revision and now facing the prospect of "summer" lapsing ? Mainly due to idiots running round to finish early in my opinion but thats another story.. :arrrghhh .

If you have time to do someone else's work before you finish, then do it.

If you haven't the time to do someone else's work before you finish, then don't do it.

I know which of the above two statements, I strive towards. :cuppa

Simples, as that annoying rodent with the east european accent keeps saying.

If traffic falls below model week levels in theory you will have too much time to do your job....so you can lapse....simples

Thats what I thought but so many people seem to be battering it to get done it seems inevitable and strong rumours in our office its going to happen. Still,the runners will just batter it even more to get finished and so it goes on...Why do people think its clever to save 10 or twenty minutes ? Beyond me and its a vicous circle..

Don't forget the extra holiday slots with summer lapsing. :nervous

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.

But it's not going slow. It's doing the job as required by RM.

we have had full revison and lapse 3 days a week in my office but still people come in early and work their breaks. :crazy:
even though the reps have told them if they did not do this there is a good chance they would not have time to lapse.
