we've got a half hour earlier start on a saturday.

and (this was confirmed with the DOM), because we are only being told to take 20 minutes break before leaving the office... start time of 6:15 means a "stop time" of 1:55, with the 20 minutes left of our MR till 2:15 obv. what we confirmed though was that there is 15 minutes of "pouching off" time from 1:40 to 1:55, so the cut-off time is 1:40. minues the half hour for the saturday means our cut off will be 1:10. get the foot down, palm a street off to someone in lieu of helping them out next week or so sometime, and i should just about be in the pub, pint in hand by kick off.

On the important subject of the Old Firm match - get a few mates to give you a hand or pay some arsehole part timer £20 to do a bit of your delivery, sorted. :cool

Why do you finish so late,what are your start times then?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

We were told that start and finnish times are to be agreed locally, hence nodody seems to start and finnish at the same times now. Our dim told us our times were going to be 6.15 monday to saturday, which is what we started this week on BUT i had a word with our area rep and he said NO you must all agree a start and finnish time, so he came down to our office we had a meeting all agreed we wanted an earlier finnish saturday so we wanted
mon. 6.00 - 14.15
tue. 6.00 - 13.45
wed. 6.00 - 14.20
