Post by bensonhedge »

its a well known fact that most postmen could be on the streets probably 1 hr(maybe earlier in some parts) than they are.the later start times give the management a carrot which they can dangle for staff which comes in the form of,collapse a duty and you can go early......fact.

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.

Or alternatively it gives management a headache when staff refuse to do OT in the dark

At my office a duty split on OT should finish at 1658. With later starts this would be 1758 or later...without ghosting this cant be done.
