It's whatever the DOM and the rep agree in the resourcing meeting.

Re: lapsing
Ok then DGP, resource meeting states ;lapsing Mon & Tues only this week.
Today they send a guy down to another office to help out and we have to lapse today as well.
Is this right?
Next week, apparently, we are meant to be lapsing everyday but we aint had no
resource meeting for next week yet.
Is this right?
Now the next question.
They want us to lapse. They want us to take the mail out with us when we go out on delivery.
Some of us have said that we will lapse if we have the time and therefore we dont want
to take the mail with us as that means that we have to deliver it.
Dom says we must take it with us but doesnt give it to us in writing that we can bring it back
if we are going to be over our time.
Is this right? Can he MAKE us take the lapsing bit even if we tell him we are unsure as to whether we
can complete within our time and we dont want to go over?

The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
The time has come for union.

Re: lapsing
He can make you do anything but he can't make you work over your time, if they want you to take out the lapsing and you are going to go over your time on your own duty then just leave part of your duty behind. Just be firm and tell your DOM you can't do it within your time and don't let him say otherwise.Broxi51 wrote:Ok then DGP, resource meeting states ;lapsing Mon & Tues only this week.

Re: lapsing
Vacancies after 6 months should go up for signing as per the way forward,or recruited for.should your office hold a vacancy open for the sole purpose of lapsing

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.

Re: lapsing
It's not naughty it's commonplace!
Been lasping Mon-Sat for longer than I care to remember.
When you say you can't work over your time they start being all nice (makes my f***ing skin crawl) and asking if you'll just go over a little because they haven't got any spare staff (yes, people off on leave, sick and duties left uncovered because they believe traffic will be low and we will lapse - and they know this a week in advance!?)
