I don't know whether annualised ours is the right phrase for what it is that we are proposing to do, what we're actually thinking about, and look, it's for the negotiation team, we'd love to have The CWU's point of view as well, but what we're thinking about is how can we give everybody a regular income every month, accepting that off peak, you'll work less hours per day, but on peak, you'll be working more hours a day.

It should release more time for holidays during off peak time, it should allow everybody to plan their income on a more regular basis, and it also means that we'll need less temporary workers during the peak we feel, so we can have more of the core team delivering them brilliant quality and productivity, which they actually do best.

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 never make any time on my delivery any day of the week so I don’t know how that would work for me. Sounds like he has no idea what he’s doing or he’s been fed incorrect data.

I've often said to people at work and customers.... These people at the top think after 500 years we have no clue how to deliver mail!

Also that it must be their sole purpose in life (management) to do everything in their power to make things as awkward as possible then us frontline staff always end up finding a way around the constant crap they cause for us! 😤

I would have loved one of these bloodsuckers to have tried a delivery during the pandemic the absolute cheek of all this we need to adapt quicker we should all be very proud of the effort we all put in while everyone else was on furlough/hiding behind their sofas while we delivered anything from a butt plug to either 96 toilet rolls or a 48 box of crisps and 24 cans of pepsi to wash it down.

Total disgrace 🤬😤

He's so thoughtful thinking of me and wanting me to have a regular income.

There was me thinking this was just a way of having me out delivering post in the dark in winter to save the company from employing enough people to get it done.

" A regular income every month"is he suggesting monthly pay,it's a nightmare if that's what he is implying.

Aye, that was my takeaway too.

I reckon he let something slip there....

As per all above comments, complete bollox, what's this more leave in off peak time eh, that's what lapsing was originally for, the thinking being lapse a duty or 2 when time allows in summer so extra peeps could have holidays, yeah look what happened there.

Also why the obsession that in summer we have no work, yes it can drop off a bit but not to the extreme they keep telling us.

Simon sweetie, im on a 35 hour contract, i work a minimum of 7 hours everyday ( and i mean i work all paid hours) apart from the days when i go over sometimes its december, sometimes its june.

If you want annualised working (not hours obvs) does that mean if ive worked 7 hours everyday of the day i can just bring the rest back that ive not delivered as ive done my contracted annualised hours?

I think it's going to drop off more than normal as the cost of living crisis really kicks in

This is the worst of their plan, can u imagine working a 12 hour shift in December for basic pay, not a chance,its to cut out overtime for people who rely on it in the most important time of year, all posties need to join together and fight this shitstorm, not just for today but tomorrow!!
