In my office we have all decided to work our hours, take meal breaks, do no ot, when we have a revision, management would like the duties done with ot, rather then cut off as it would mean failing. We will not be bullied into slogging our hearts out, for their bonuses :Very Happy :Very Happy All employees should stand united at this time, but people don't docket chasers it makes me sick,cos they will loose many jobs. :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

If it lasts more than a week, let us know. :cuppa
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

No we wouldn't, and no they wouldn't.

RM is losing a fortune, that's why all the cuts are happening. You really think if we all dragged our feet until finish time every day that no walks would be extended and no jobs would be cut? I keep reading that on here and it makes me laugh because it's totally wrong.

You're living in a dream world, just take the money every week and get home as quick as you can.

We are being made to work to the minimum of our contracted ours anyway in our DO no matter how early you finish the duty. So post revision there is no get home as quick as you can, at least not at my DO, so I figure you might as well be out on duty until your contracted hours are up, and if you have to cut off, then let the managers worry about the remaining mail, after all that's what they get payed for, whereas I get payed to work for RM for 22 hours a week only not more and not less.

I don't remember anyone mentioning dragging our feet.
Why is that every flyer's default position,if you aren't running you're taking the piss?
I never drag my feet,i never take the piss and i've never been accused of either.
I'm just not stupid enough to believe that doing 8hrs work in 7hrs won't eventually result in having to do 9hrs work in 8hrs and i'm not naive enough to believe that having to do 9hrs work in 8hrs will stop the flyer's flying or won't result in even more job losses.
Nobody thinks that Royal Mail will suddenly start investing more hours but that doesn't mean we have to make it easy for them to strip even more out.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Something is very wrong there unless the guy started at 2pm. If not that duty needs looking at on a H&S issue. :shock:

It may seem that way but normally they have to justify pressure overtime daily on their conference call.

I ve no problem with people going over their time on a heavy duty and claiming OT as there are always those that really need the extra. However i do have a problem with the ones who start an hour early and use there cars.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
