No it isn't doing more damage as Royal Mail are paying the cost of people working their day off. So whilst it is potentially preventing more employment, it is vastly different to people giving their labour to RM free of charge!

Working early and without break is bad idea for us. But I can't see anything wrong in working on floating week off occassionally as it will allow people to earn more money to buy something nice or pay for holiday.

In my office lately many people start early in order to rush around and finish early. Last Saturday I looked at the signing on sheet after I got back to the office, on my due time. Around 50% of people had come in early. Some by an Hour, one particular person then managed to finish 3 hours before his official finish time. many others were finishing 1 or 2 hours early.
Even on the lightest days my job is hard to complete in the time I have, so it frustrates and annoys me that this situation goes on. If those that can finish so early have such easy rounds they should be used to help others before they go home. I bet they would not rush around if they had to go back out to help struggling walks. It amazes me that management allow this, given that "job and finish" was supposed to have ended years ago.

Same in my office, not got a clue, the so called team players

Lol. So they do that crap at your office too. Yup, they try to turn starting early into a positive thing and isolate anyone who isn't a "team player". Arseholes.

We get up early enough. Get up even earlier, for the sake of a little earlier finish? Who'd do that?

No

D2Ds are classed as live mail. Taking live mail home is a sackable offence.

Personally I think Saturday should still be looked at separately from normal midweek days as many people have weddings, football matches etc and there is an unwritten rule that you and your mate can come in early to finish early if you have something important on and can't get the annual leave to cover it.

Would be really disappointed if someone feels we should treat saturday as a normal day as one of the last perks we still have is getting away early on a saturday.

No doubt he does. But then so did one manager until IB started a covert examination of one of his posties and when they raided his home he had that weeks D2D on the table. The manager certainly had a few awkward questions to answer when RM became aware it was common practice.
