Do what you can within your duty time and let your Dom know you may not be able to complete before you leave the office. :cool

my point is, what other business would bury their heads in the sand, like our managers do, hoping their employees bail them out, instead of putting adequate measures in to deal with this increase in packets????

Make an extra special effort be the best in the land at booking excess then. Run a competition to see who books the most in a week and award them with a WCM on Monday morning (World Class Mug of tea). Make sure the manager knows what the score is.

Xmas seems to take RM by surprise every year. They spend all that time and money removing duties and introducing working practices which simpley dont work, even in the lighter summer months and then sit about sratching their heads when the mail volume increases at xmas. :no no
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Same every year at my place,the packets start rolling in,no time to do them,no docket given,screws want to wait for xmas pressure hrs to kick in to get them cleared.
One year one of the muppets asked us if we want to come in and do them but take the hrs out of our xmas pressure,we told him bollox.It was the middle of Nov ffs.

Quick one to Royal Mail,the s**t hits the fan from late Sept if not earlier ffs. :cuppa
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
