See this, and print it off if you can. Your rep should have a copy of it anyway.

Just tell them you can't do those hours. You don't have to.

That said, 'packets in the dark' is a cushy number if you ask me. No pressure to get a heavy christmas time delivery done in impossible time frames. Instead just going around doing no set amount of packets. Less walking, drier, warmer.

You'll barely have to see management because they all f**k off at 2pm where as you don't start until 12pm.

Why in the dark?

At our place we get extra vans,extra packet duties..........during the day!
With A/L blocked,we're nearly always fully staffed so volunteer drivers do them with reserves picking up duties left.

It's not hard is it.

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.
