Good post Arthur !
It is amazing to see that the " foolish goodwill " as you state, is the biggest asset in RM managements armoury. We really are taking a stick to our own backs, and it is long overdue for DO staff to grow a pair and stand up to this form of bullying. Unfortunately managers seem to always get the easy option too often and many staff still accept this form of intimidation as a rule of thumb - we have to accept it. We don't.
Managers really need to be taken to task over the methods they adopt towards staff who's only crime is wishing to work their contracted hours without staff being made to feel inadequate or " letting the office down " due to managements inability to MANAGE ( the clue is in the job title !!! )

Actually the conduct code shouldn't be necessary.
Counselling is a far better option. If someone comes in 30 minutes early, they should be taken into the office for 45 minutes counselling. I'm sure they would soon get the message.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Get real.
If you were running your own business and your STUPID staff wanted to start early and run round with no breaks would you stop them?
No boss in their right minds would and we all know that these nutters keep the business ticking over and help achieve the managers bonuses!
The pressure is then on those that do the job properly to keep up and its not possible.
This is just how the business want it, it benefits them. :arrrghhh
Everyone is equal in Royal Mail, but some are more equal than others!
