LATER START FIASCO

Post by abbo75 »

I work in a small rural office, only 8 of us here. Story is area manager comes in and says as from next Monday we'll be starting 15 mins later!!!!

Now the funny bit,,,,,, he then asks for a volunteer to come in at our normal start time to unload our mail as the driver will still arrive at the normal time until sometime in October!!!

Can anyone explain the sense in this : d'oh!
d'oh!

We are an office of 300 and we had this about a year ago.

Ok lads we are withdrawing nights as they are not needed. By the way can some of you come in a couple of hours early to do their work. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Exactly the same as our place,except 2 dutys some how have been picked for the task of coming in early to open up ect.
And i cover one of them once a week :d'oh!

We're telling them bollox,plus,I ain't takin no f***ing office keys home!!!! :no no

Also there should be 2 of you to open up not 1.
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.
