Same in our office, people starting up to two hours, yes, TWO HOURS early. Dashing around the office like headless chickens, not taking meal reliefs, running around the walks using pouches instead of the proper equipment, no wonder we are still lapsing. Selfish morons.

Re: When will lapsing stop?
An orifice next to ours do van sharing in Bippa's. I mean, WTF! Two walks, over size packets, two golf trolleys and two pieces of abortion! Madness. The crazy thing is, they could ask for drop bags, which defeats the whole object.mickyplum wrote:Same in our office, people starting up to two hours, yes, TWO HOURS early.

Who are these idiots that plan the revisions? Just fook the useless twats off and get posties to do the revisions. No wonder this firm has gone down the pan. Idiots running the show from top to bottom. Can't wait till I can get out, freekin joke of a firm.

Re: When will lapsing stop?
Why do people get upset about lapsing??? If you follow correct procedure just cut off if you over run or take the overtime it's not that difficult!! You are paid for whatever hours you work you can't do any more once you have worked them then it either cut off or do overtime

Re: When will lapsing stop?
I find it annoying when one line manager shouts to his section 'two walk collapse' and the rest of the office can hear him. Then ours comes round and shouts 'four walk collapse'...

Nothing to do with ending. - It's now an annual thing. - Union have discussed it in joint statement
RM will use it going forward as part of planning & resourcing.
You wanted it - you got it.

Re: When will lapsing stop?
Until the regulators fine RM so much for not delivering mail, that RM discover its atually cheaper to employ enough people to do what we are supposed to do, DELIVER MAIL. We are F**ked.
It is absolutely disgusting to see so much mail not delivered each day. I don't blame my DOM, he can only manage the resources he is allowed to have. God help us & our customers at Christmas.
