Ask another colleague who knows the duty how to tie it up the best way - if not just do your best and work to your time, if it’s brought back then sod them

I agree, ours is the same. The newest 3 managers have been in that role around 3-6 months each, all straight in at our office, one of the larger ones. 2 of them have never even been a postie, but straight into management and one of those 2 works parttime, 7-11!
