I thought the RMTV finished last week. We got dragged off the floor a made to watch a 20 min H&S video. Just seemed to be done to stop us getting an early day :hmmmm
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

I've worked in the callers now for over three years. This is due to arthritis, and very pleased to report that I have never in that time had any WTL ( work time lying ) sessions. Had years of it when I was on delivery. Don't miss it all, total krap ! :nana

What's a WTL anyway? I've been at RM 2 years and never had to endure one. :neutral:

WTL is supposed to be 30 minutes of your working week.
If an office has 80 staff and nobody has WTL, that equates to 40 hours of extra work being done = 1 full time job or 4 people currently on 30 hr contracts being made f/t.

So I fail to see why anyone would stick a :Very Happy because they have (once again) colluded with RM to do somebody out of a job.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Where is it written that it should only be 30 mins?

I've never been to one because I'm part time & when I get in it's finished.

It should be built in in every revision.

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.
