Wally week?
Yes.
You work an extra day a week to get the week off in the 6th week,you get paid for 5 days and bank the 6th day for the week off.....which you also get paid for obviously.

You don't gain or lose money.

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.
