part time xmas staff hours and xmas bonus

Post by keithposty »

Hi All,



Just to confirm that xxxxxxxxx DO management is trying to push through a 7hr Per day contract for 30hr staff rather than a 40hr contract which will impact on the part time earners Xmas bonus. I’d like to ask what other offices are being offered on this mailing list please so that I may compare when going back to local management on this issue.



Therefore would you all reply by end of day tomorrow to confirm your own local Xmas agreement regarding part time hours???



Many thanks in advance.

It is typical of the penny-pinching madness that runs Royal Mail.
I don't have BT2010 to hand but isn't there a bit about wanting everyone to feel a valued employee.

You are a valued employee but we are going to shaft you at xmas to save some pennies.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

PTers in my office never get made up, they just do deliveries and maybe get to claim if over...........and this is the way it's always been since I started.

Ignoring them being made up to 40hrs for a bit,if the 7hr days don't suit them then throw it out,if it does,then go for it.
Back to being not made up to 40hrs,is anyone suprised?

PS:Not sure how far you would get with the comparing thing,what happens in say my office has nothing to do with your place,you know how they work.

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.

the volume of mail will determine how many hours you work.
the balls in the unions court at Xmas,
the pressure is on RM to clear all cards and packets by Xmas eve
the problem is the "bonus culture" within RM managements
their all greedy bastards who are totally self-centred
just take your time,do your job right
and watch them panic as the mail builds-up
they then beg you to work overtime
and its pay-back time for you

There should be no part-timers, it's not a part-time job.
Unless, of course, we're talking about management, they could easily be replaced by an earthworm on a 1sec contract.
