Full Time/Part Time
I'm getting pissed off with all this Full Time/Part Time s**t. Perhaps we should have seperate sections so we can slag each other off!

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Re: Full Time/Part Time
Im sure we do that reasonably well in this forum already. Just remember boys and girls, no matter if the 'other' guy is taking the piss/liberties, it suits RM's DIVIDE & RULE strategy, to have us at odds with each other. I remember a thread a while back which had a quote from some RM management bell-end to the effect "there will be no more strikes at RM" im sure this is all part of that plan.

Re: Full Time/Part Time
If my depot is anything to go by, its no wonder about the split going on...
The DOM always does unannounced "group hugs" before the offical start time of part timers, which I sometimes get the dregs of appraoching 0800. Nobody in management then does any sort of brief version of events for the part timers' benefit, they just hear dribs and drabs from colleagues who were in, which leaves the part timers open to all sorts of trouble, as linos can tell them bits that suit the linos cause on any given day.
Its nothing short of appauling, we make up ~25% of the workfoce in our depot, I've let my feeeling be known to my lino and our union rep to sort something out... Even having this "hugs" around 0930 when most sections have already had "right of way" while my (rediculous sized walk) section are still getting bundled up, as "right of way" according to the Peagasus sheet is gone 1010!

Re: Full Time/Part Time
I've got no problem with the full time workers. As long as they realise how good they've got it 
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

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.

No........they technically have more free time and so can be abused for longer (just like dvbPOSTMAN wrote:Don't forget to terrorise them pro rata!dvbuk55 wrote:Well there is a difference DGP, we get more time to aggravate the full timers, we have to rush the part timers a bit 'cos it does take time to get the gimp suit on and offDGP1 wrote:Everybody is welcome in the naughty room, FT/PT are just the same to me
