Strangely, in our office, the only day people manage to finish early is Saturday. :whistle

So if you have time to do it in your hours do it. If not then ignore them and cut off, following the appropriate procedures by letting them know you may cut off before leaving the office, etc.

They cannot make you work over your time so stand up to them. If they make a big issue of it then get your rep involved and if he/she wont help get an area rep involved. They cannot make you work for free that's called slavery and was abolished a bloody long time ago! :roll:

:chuckle no lapsing yet after p and l ,but we did adopt a stiffy model week,so the do it proper folks cut off late in the week. It don't help that the MC seems to be out 30% on it's forcasted figures(how can that happen)
However due to runny s**t brains not taking their meal reliefs or doing van checks and coming in early , I can see lapsing making a comeback :chuckle

I agree with the forecasts being out, well out! Our packet figures are just silly at the minute, were running at just under x mas levels, yet forecast is only slightly up. A couple of months ago our forecast took a 100% jump/spike yet it was a normal week, what sort of forecast is that?

If he's the area rep he can't be the office rep especially if he's on full time release,you need to get a rep at your office.

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.
