This s**t new shared van thing.
If we are to start later, moving from 06 15 now, to 7am or 07 15, how the fook can the boss let us start at 0530 on a saturday, as its the 2nd busiest day o the week?
Surely ti fook if they can get the mail throo at 0530 saturday, they can get it throo durin the week at 0530?

Re: This s**t new shared van thing.
I very much doubt your 5:30 sat start is going to happen,how can it?
When is all this due?

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.

Re: This s**t new shared van thing.
our mail currently arrives at 5:20, but none of us except the PHG are allowed to start until 6:30! It makes no sense to any of us as our start times were originally 6:00 but put forward a few months ago.

Re: This s**t new shared van thing.
ours start monday
3 duties shared by 2 people
now what i need to know is the first day not a soul will know how much they will get done in the time
we have been told by the rep that before we leave the office we should tell the manager what we will and wont get done but how will we know? now they cant force you to work overtime
so what are other offices doing what is the union stance?
cos if we sit down with the manager it will finish off with him saying you have got time take it all
so advice please
