If you have annual leave booked and the 'Saturday' becomes a non-service day do you get credited the hours...i.e like a Bank Holiday?
No. Same as if you were day off that week, you don't get another day off instead. Very unfair but that's Royal Mail.

No. Its not treated as a bank holiday, its a bit like a snow day, if you are on leave you won't get it back if RM cancel local deliveries.

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.

I still find it very strange that they never gave the actual coronation day off :shock:

Quite a few of the public were surprised when I said we'd be working on Saturday ..."But it's the Coronation Day"! :crazy:

I just replied, "Well that's what happens when you're run by a bunch of Greedy Money Grabbing Bastards"! Nobody disagreed. :cuppa

Not my king.
Not my queen.

I've had the same a few times today, pointed to the van and said that sign is the only thing royal about royal mail these days.

It makes no sense whatsoever. Especially as we are Royal Mail.
