P&L:Anyone got 4 day week/10hr days?

Post by POSTMAN »

If so...
Staff no's,walk span,FT/PT,and whatever else you can give.

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.

We have a few on 4 days weeks. I think it is 6 duties out of about 100. They are 0400 starts and do extra IPS. Fixed tuesday off since the extra IPS is not needed plus a rolling day off. Spans are the same as everyone else so planned at 4h but realistically about 4.5h. We are all FT. I think if you wanted a 4 day week for a large number of staff you would need a high proportion of PT so that there was enough indoor work, otherwise you would need massive spans and they are long enough already.

They have 4 day duties in my old office.

The only way RM can make them work is to give the duty holders a van each! :crazy:

We have 2 * 3 day 10 hour duties - job share indoor.

What's gone - 12 hours OT each week
2 * 39 hour duties.

What's arrived - 2 * 30 hour duties
Cover duty reduced from 39 hours to 26

Total 43 hours removed from depot indoor duties, 3 former full time staff now part-time. 2 by choice, 1 go pt or medically retired (no choice there then)

Workload still increasing though.
