if the postie is getting finished early it's performance related pay, the postie is efficient.

a fine attitude .... if it was 1999 .... good luck getting the union or the management to accept that working attitude these days

What do you think of this scenario then; a super fast postie does half a walk on overtime on a Saturday plus his own walk. He does his own walk and his overtime well within time but leaves his absorption in the frame. Postie who is due on the absorbed walk the following Monday comes back to find this absorption still in the frame. Postie who finds the absorption wonders if the other fella 'forgot' to take it or, because he was doing a lot of overtime that he couldn't be bothered. Postie who finds absorption bands it up and leaves it on the other fellas frame so that when he gets back he will realise that he had 'forgotten' it. Monday morning and the absorption was back on the original frame. Postie who is on the absorbed duty throws the banded mail on the floor and has nothing to do with it. An argument ensues and the overtime postie said that he was going to take it out on the Monday. Why then did he put it back on the absorbed frame and not leave it on his own frame? Overtime postie took the absorption on Monday but is now ignoring the absorption postie.

hard to make sense of this story, but why didnt the guy on Saturday do the absorption in the 1st place ? you dont get to choose to do it on Monday.

Because he couldn't be bothered and he'd got them out of a mess by doing half another walk? So he felt justified?

well, without any more details, it seems the Saturday OT guy has opened himself up to wilful delay, leaving mail hes responsible for without notifying the manager is a no no

We've got guys who leave lapse packets all the time, nothing's ever done.
