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.

I know a couple of posties who'll offer to do all the shifts, what makes it even sadder though is they've got kids who'll be off school and they're definitely not rock bottom desperate for the money.

No ta. The four days off is almost priceless given we can't book annual leave off when we actually need it.

I've done enough overtime this period to not bother, the boxing day pay on offer is meh anyway.

A full on xmas of being fat with the family, and a few days recovery :thumbup

We don't need managers on a Sunday, unnecessary intervention. The team leader goes out on delivery themselves, along with everyone else. So what would a manager do once we've all gone out on delivery? Sit there and...?

If they want it covering they should just say flat rate £30/hr. Instead of all the complications. Day off in lieu? So that's worth 6 hrs pay for a part timer or 8 hrs for a full timer , how's that fair?
