It's a lot easier said than done but it's not our job to worry about completing unachievable workloads. Let the manager worry about it that's their job. You come in and do the job as best you can until it's time to go home. What's the worst that can happen. They sack you (they won't by the way) then maybe start worrying about finding another job.

its very hard to sack people unless they misconduct themselves in any job, let alone this one. As others have said, do the job to best of your ability and have a chat with your union rep.

Glad you're happy, hope you're sorted with a less stressful job, buddy.

Cheers mate.

This is the best advice you'll find on here, keep telling yourself I'm a postman I'm a postman I'm a postman

Certainly nothing like the cosy old days pre 1997, two deliveries and you had a light 2nd delivery until 2004, overtime was handed out to clear bills and bulk mailing without the 3rd degree.

The pendulum have swung from the workers to the management and we let it happen.

Totally agree it is the best advice,but the trouble is you can do the job as best as you possibly can,and its still not good enough for them RM managers,unless of course your face fits!
