Re: Having Saturdays off
I honestly find that I feel better off for having a day off in the middle of the week, preferably one of the heavier days, rather than having Saturday off. The accumulated wear of working five days in a row in this job is horrendous. I feel as if I've been run over by a bus when I do five days in a row.

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.
