Suspended for cutting off

[gand]

What gets me is I do that to and say I cannot complete today what to you advise and they say they will pay the overtime. To which I say I don't want the overtime and tell them if your happy to pay the overtime why not give it to someone who wants it lol

So, if they had agreed to do overtime to finish there duty, they would not be in any trouble whatsoever. Either way, by cutting off or doing OT,it shows the walk was way to heavy for that day. Personally, once I have thrown in ,and think I cant complete,i say to lino, i don't think i can complete today, what do you advise, its in there hands then. It works for me.

What? You mean you don't get the "You'll be fine"..then they turn and walk away.Hoping you'll just take it out and complete it.
It's as if they are following a script

Our manager is like Houdini. He conveniently disappears when he knows a few posties are getting ready to ask him about not taking the lapse...Just as well the DOMs still in office


But i keep forgetting!! We are not supposed to tell him that we are not lapsing because it is taking us past our time and we don't want overtime. We have to ask in a procedural fashion:

We are really busy today, we have X amount of mail/packets and delivering it all will take us past our time. We don't wish to work overtime (don't need a reason) so what can you do about it? What can be taken off our delivery today so that we can get back to the office on time? And let them decide....

And that should be that.

Latest News !

Went in today for a "fact finding" interview, me the Union Rep, and the DIM.

Explained to him what happened, then he suggested we "look at the frame" to get a better idea.

After five minutes in front of the frame there was a massive "BANG" it was the sound of a penny dropping inside the DIM's head.

This walk is too big ! he announces to myself and the Rep, who by the way had been telling managers this nugget of information for the past six months.

DIM then proceeds to tell me this will all be sorted out, ( been told that at least once a month for the past six months), and I can start back to work tomorrow, with a clean slate.

And there was me hoping for a full week off

Thanks for all the advice and support lads & lassies

Haha.... Nah, I chase after them.If you shout,you'll get questioned about having an attitude problem.

It got the stage, where some folk in my office, refused to get involved in these silly, long winded chats.

Mangers were told not asked, that if they argued.The mail would be taken out, then come finishing time......they would lock the van in the street, then walk away.

You have a start time. You have a finish time.If you think it's a performance issue(snigger). Test me indoors and out.Oh and by the way. I ain't interested if so and so can complete. (This has been my motto since RM went park and loop)
