They've just asked all the PT's if they want to go FT in December prior to Christmas in my DO. Most have said no except me, an impoverished PT-er...

Re: Are You Commited?
We were asked to commit to completing our walks everyday over Christmas and in return any extended delivery time would be paid at SA rate. I think they were disappointed with the answer they got
We're all here because we're not all there

Re: Are You Commited?
As I remember, last year one of the guys said He would complete over Christmas and then didnt got grief from a manager.He said no chance this year.One of the passengers on P and Loop said yes and then His driver went and said no lol
.Is there any benefit in postman saying Yes to this??

Re: Are You Commited?
We have MC work sent to our office at Christmas for staff to do on OT at night. There's a sign up saying if you sign up for any nights then you have to be willing to complete your delivery the day after
I know they couldn't force anyone to do that, but what they could do is refuse them OT on nights if they're not willing to do it on the walk.
With the amount of packets we had last year, cutting off most days, I can easily see people doing 16-18hr shifts if they do a night then complete their walks too. No thanks!

Re: Are You Commited?
Try that every year at ours,"within reason" is what they get back,if you tick YES then they will hound you if personal situations means you cannot commit to that particular day,tick NO & they will hound you,until you break,or go sick with stress,& then they move onto another poor soul

Re: Are You Commited?
at ours they keep saying you are required to do the duty/walk in a reasonable amount of time, but won't tell you what that reasonable amount is.
Also they are changing are working hours from 630-1430 to 530 starts - can they do this?
There was a mockery of a vote cast and some of the old gits want to do it but I do things with my evenings I don't go to bed at 9!

"Committed"
Haven't we all been committed. Working for Royal Mail, it feels like an insane asylum sometimes.
