2pm til 9pm.

[koolishy67]

Not 9 pm but 5 pm is very good possibility within a year or two.

[Binsey]

Roll on late shift allowance !

Sadly that will have gone. As they are proposing only paying an allowance between 2200 and 0600.
As I understand it I could be wrong of course.

[TrueBlueTerrier]

You are late tonight postie - crica + 1 year from now if...............

If that happens, prepare for a mass exodus.
I'm not going to do 9-5 or 10-6 or whatever they're proposing.
It is just far too much of a change and would lead to us having virtually no life outside of work.

So working 9-5 gives you no life outside work that's the world most people live in I think the public would find that a strange reason to strike

9-5 is not much of a problem mon-fri but not getting in until gone six on a sat will drive family time further apart

Be thankful you're not in processing then. My Saturday shift is 13:45 - 18:45! At least I've got a job though!

9am to 5pm might suit many workers but 6am to 2pm hours was the reason many of us started working for Royal Mail.
I like to Finnish early so would rather work earlier, 4am to noon, than later.

We all know 9-5 wouldn't be the hours and most jobs are mon-friday with those hours.
Along with working in the dark in some dodgy areas that make us a target and a more hazardous environment to work in.
I took this job because of the hours of work and those hours do mean I can no longer forfill the commitments I have outside of work.
9-5 actually means just that in most other jobs but it does not here, it would be 5:30 or 6, 7,8 unless you want massive arguments every single day and lest not forget how busy it gets from October and the workload in December.
9-5 it certainly would not be and you know it and I don't care what the public think.

[TheTrolleyMan]

Don't most 9-5 workers get a 1 hour lunch break ?

[ernieshoe]

9 - 5.30 are the standard office hours with hour lunch break

Mac KG, by that statement I guess you've only been working for Royal Mail for a short time or on a wind up.
That's the sort of thing my manager said once to me ...... "You should be grateful you have a job"
I replied by saying "If I had just started then maybee, but I joined Royal Mail like you, when jobs were aplenty"
He never said it again.

Just a bit of banter mate. Lightening the mood and all that.

[arnold cheshire]

What about 1pm specials?

[k979aaa]

Probably send the twats who come in two hours early to do those!
