Floating week changes

Post by Darren Bent »

Next week it is my floating week off but they change my duty and my floating week will start week after Christmas. When I started they change my floating week off after few months and now I work there for 6.5 years.

Should I have more notice ?

Should I get double pay next week ? As the Dom say no as I owned Royal Mail a week off.

Can I refuse to change ?

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.

If you don't want to change it don't.
You've done your 5 weeks on...you're due your one off.
If you do change it by the time your week off comes you'll have banked an extra 3 days.
Tell them you'll be having a floating week and a half.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
