Re: When are your rotas done?
Sometimes the Friday, normally the Saturday before the rota week so you're lucky to know 2 days in advance what your day off is. But that's just affects us reserves and who gives a s**t about us anyway? Just another indignity among a sea of the f***ers.

Actually quite well organized at our place, the sheets are usually up a week in advance but having said that unless you're the old guard that never get moved it rarely stays the same as soon as someone goes sick.

I'm lucky to have my own round but feel sorry for all the reserves it could be Thursday, Friday and changed on the Saturday in our office. Thought the ruling was you had to know at least 2-4 weeks in advance.

Re: When are your rotas done?
We have the current week up plus 2 clear weeks.
Then on a Monday one comes down and another one goes up. Can't complain at.all.

What's a rota?
We might as well not bother at our place.

It needs to be done minimum 2 weeks in advance.
It isn't.
Another issue that is just ignored and has a terrible impact on workforces mental health.

Re: When are your rotas done?
Ours are usually up 2 to 3 weeks in advance. Most of them change several times before the week starts and most weeks they change several more times as the week goes on

Re: When are your rotas done?
Usually Thursday or Friday - sometimes Saturday. I don't know why they can't give more notice when we have to book our annual leave anything from 6 to 18 months in advance.

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.
