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.

He then went on to say......"just remember though you will have to make up the hours tomorrow that you have gained today".

He is so caring about us all, I'm getting quite emotional knowing what a wonderful person he is.

This might be how they will try to build up extra time to deliver for longer in the run up to Xmas with the dodgy "annualised hours" proposal, which has no chance of working without a massive change in the rules of delivery engagement.priority102 wrote: ↑17 Jun 2022, 16:10He then went on to say......"just remember though you will have to make up the hours tomorrow that you have gained today".

So Simon, you want us to start later soon with your new proposals and to be out in the sun from let's say 11am to 3pm which is the hottest time of day.
Are you mad!

I wish I could get 3.6% wage increases from April on a £500k+ salary and £142k special bonuses for ideas like this.

But clearly not during the summer months whenever it's sunny/hot, at present most delivery rounds in my DO finish by 2pm, so we miss the mid afternoon heat during a heat wave, start an hour or two later and we'll be expecting to work when it's unbearably hot in future.

My office (and many others, by the way) has had a 3pm finishing time since P&L came in. This was 12 years ago in our case. We're the furthest office from our Mail centre so God knows what time we'll be working until if this lot gets in.TopperGas wrote: ↑17 Jun 2022, 21:33But clearly not during the summer months whenever it's sunny/hot, at present most delivery rounds in my DO finish by 2pm, so we miss the mid afternoon heat during a heat wave, start an hour or two later and we'll be expecting to work when it's unbearably hot in future.
