It'll depend on the individual ciircumstances of the office you work at, and whether or not the DOM is a twat. I reached an agreement with a previous DOM that I could reduce my hours with the proviso that I worked fewer days, and he stuck to it.

I did the same, although I don't think the new DOM would have gone for it. Still no harm in asking.

All I ever seen is Royal Mail recruiting part-timers to save money


Therefore, Im sure if you wanted to reduce your hours they would be falling over themselves to give you the best round in the office as well!
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Same in MCs as well, I think nearly all the full time staff that we've taken on over the last decade are those who've transferred from other offices
