new start times: tuesday longest day?

Post by Duckins4u »

Hi, Had our delivery revision last week (chaos) and this week start with our new hours and start times. Can anyone explain why they have allowed 15 mins extra time for the lightest day of the week?

Refill coffee machine day?

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.

Good luck with the revision ,we had ours last june and still we're having problems, nearly all the rounds have been overloaded (impossible to achieve) The 39hr week has been sorted by knocking half an hour off what RM thought to be the two quietest days Monday and Tuesday. We all know Mondays can be extremely busy on delivery, if you work after your time on a Monday our DOM makes you start work a bit later the next couple of mornings to save paying the OT. How things have changed !!!

Your DOM is enforcing "flexing" on the office, when "flexing" is a voluntary thing for the individual postie to agree or not, your DOM can only offer this but certainly not enforce it.
