A consequence of the absolutely bizarre mis-management rife in Royal Mail.

Define "work". :nana
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Personally I'm of the opinion that the more D2D's to do the better.

Just makes for a bigger cut-off by the time I've prepped them :nana

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.

Our managers answer to cutting off is to make us come in later he figures that will mean we can do more in the same spread :hmmmm

they're hoping you'll come in early, or have things to do/arrange close to your old finish time therefore hope you'll rush around. Or you did originally have some spare time in the morning waiting for mail to come in early on, therefore with the later start time no more sitting/waiting around for the lorry (if you did previously have this situation at times in the past)

Royal Mail management seem to think absrobing and door to door is more important than the regular walk. Never understand this nonsense.
