You don't have to work over your time and don't have to sign up to any Christmas deal. Get everyone in your office to refuse the Xmas deal and watch you manager poop himself! 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Re: less drivers at christmas
Up to you, if you don't want to go over your time you don't have to, in which case do not sign it. If you then go out on a P/L shared van with someone who has signed it/wants to run - then insist on using a LWT (and bring this up if partner/manager moans to boss about you, as he will likely be using a bag on shoulder to get around quicker)mlw wrote:well there is a split as some people have signed this form the same people who run and do all the otJudgee wrote:You don't have to work over your time and don't have to sign up to any Christmas deal.

Re: less drivers at christmas
FFS people read the business policy regarding delivery failures. You make them aware of the problem as soon as you become aware of the problem.
You, we, i cannot just cut off and come back with mail, once you've left the office it is not unreasonable for RM to expect you to complete the delivery. However what you can do is come back to the office and make them aware of the problem with completing your delivery AS SOON AS YOU'VE BECOME AWARE and ask them what they want you to do.

Re: less drivers at christmas
yep saw him today and says it is voluntary but wants us to try our hardest to complete as they will pay ot no question! think he is panicking as so many are already cutting off as can noo]t finish as we are still doin lapsing!! he says if we take mail with us we can not bring any back , so i guess i will leave plenty in the frame and tell him can not completemodern wrote:just work to your time he is spouting a load of s**tmotch wrote:Up to you, if you don't want to go over your time you don't have to, in which case do not sign it.
