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.

Was still going in March 2009

Thanks for your email

First Line Fix is set to remain in the new financial year and although
there will be some accounting changes to accommodate the new regional
structure - units should receive their allocation as before.

We are always seeking to review and refine our programme and we will
discuss potential developments in due course with the new Chairman in order
to ensure the budget is used in a way that reflects the needs of our people
whilst continuing to support business priorities. If in the interim you can
let me have details of units where there is a misunderstanding about the
continuation of FLF I will follow this up with the management teams
concerned.

Kind regards

good times, bad times you know I've had my share

i know it was years ago but just think of false accounting by mgmt if they have been using flf monies for savings we heard if you didn,t use it it went into pot nationally.
our concerns is after xmas revisions coming in 2 to a van et all but we are going to insist on rec breaks and proper meal breaks just like we used to before sdd .remember those breaks our time guys sdd was brought in to encourage early finish that was what swung that agreement vote now they dont want you finished until stop time proper so we will reintroduce PROPER meal breaks not their 20 / 20 pish :left:
and to accomodate proper breaks we want proper and legal welfare facilities end of.......

Royal Mail could invest in solar energy to help them reduce energy bills if they won't give it to us.
