If the planner says some walks are too big,why has he let it slide and why was it voted in?

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.

That have and haven't had a vote
You maybe shocked.

Yes. No doubt.

In my DO even posties look down at others working to their time. You could not make it up.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

We have had van shares in our office for a long tim( 2 years i think). I do a country delivery,but the post people on these van shares say they are far too BIG[. If you mention working to your time here to management,all they say is flexability. We have a 10min rule for all the early starters,but they turn a blind eye to all there favourites. All the people who voted yes at the last ballet,just saw the carrot dangled in front of them. The carrot we are still waiting for.

To which you all say flexibility is by your agreement, as it is not compulsary?

When we get this s**t sorted in the office i run from there will be a vote!We have all the vote papers printed with envelopes ready,we have even done them with a security print so that you cant copy them,that's how serious we are in our place,we have been shafted to many times before and we are not going down this time without a fight,as for flexing if you want to work your time and no more then do so,they might make your life awkward but i would suggest that you ring the help line because that will set the cat amongst the pigeons,we have done that down here because we have already had problems under the last 30 odd revamps, i have lost count how many times they have started on members of staff they go for the weaker people 1st but it is up to us more robust staff to start the ball running your soon have managers running the other way.
