Funnily enough it's mostly the overweight/slow long timers who seem to complain. Another thing to note is that said complainers couldn't 'run' if they wanted to and seem to take exception towards anyone who doesn't conform to their imagined standards. For every runner there are at least 3 others who like to do as little work as possible for as much overtime as possible, yet it's a severe injustice to get home a little early? This job has been desirable for years due to the job and knock element. It's only now that a day’s work is a lot harder they tend to pick out the people doing what they themselves did for years on end and simply because they can no longer do it themselves!
It's the people who use cars, reap overtime like no tomorrow, work their rest days etc...These are the people killing the job and making the phrase 'new entry' a thing of the past. Before you start on the 'fast man' it might be worth taking a look at the real issues within an office, namely me me me me me.
Back on topic i think you should mention to your workmate and not management.
what I find amusing is when the runners get another 45 mins added to their walk as they are seen going home early while the peeps doing the job properly and working all their hours don't
and it's not overweight/slow long timers that complain that is a problem - long timers and decent hardworking sensible posties that realise that by doing the job properly and working all their hours they protect jobs and don't make management feel there are hours to be saved just because some little wally is running round and finishing early
the same people that after running round like a loony for a couple of years find their body is absolutely shagged and then blame the company - that's the problem
I always wonder whats so important about finishing work early.
Is the effort of doing it more quickly than required wasted by the extra recovery time.
Or is it a self imposed target to try and beat a record you have set. ( I was that wally when I started but we had job and knock and I was naive)
What do people actually do with the time they have saved themselves, or is that imatterial, and its actually the act of finishing early thats enough reward in its self.
Questions, questions always questions.

Managers should do their job properly just like the postie,deaf or not.
Completely agree Postman. Everyone will be happy, except the customers, until this postie learns how to do his job properly. The managers here are fairly decent, but are treat the deaf workers with kid gloves. More or less unsackable. Am sure if it was hearing-abled person doing the job this badly, they'd have been out on their ear ages ago.Our deaf colleagues are all really nice lads, and I understand the job could be bit a more difficult for them in some respects, but a couple of them really take the mick.
Complaint levels are being cracked down on at our place, so maybe another official one is the best way to go for the management to actually do something?

Why's that then?
Because I find people who have no compassion for others with a disability quite disturbing.

My following sentence in the paragraph was:
"Our deaf colleagues are all really nice lads, and I understand the job could be bit a more difficult for them in some respects, but a couple of them really take the mick."
Too tired to go into the details, but will stand by that last statement. Could we just put this down to an internet misunderstanding? I won't accuse you of snap judgements, if you agree I'm not a sociopath?

Sounds fair enough to me

As an indication of how tired I am (second day of our revision), must admit I had to look up the word 'sociopath'
