4 day week is much better than every sat off,imo anyway.

Thats your oppinion,am i alone in saying i have far better things to do on a Saturday than get up at 4am in the f,kin morning,and feel like shite for the rest of the bleeding day?

You took the job on that stance i believe.

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 presume ( for both of you ), if MON-FRI deliveries do come in, you will be running to your respective DOMs with a letter giving a week's notice in your hands? :hmmmm BTW, I look forward to your response to my enquiry :pray
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

I would love a Mon - Fri service if I am being selfish but I have to ask the question

Is the price worth it: Image

You took the job on that stance i believe.

Agreed,but the job i took nearly 13 years ago,we started at 5am and we were done by 10.30 tops,now i know times are changing........ but im f,ckd if i want to work till 3pm on a Saturday.

In all honesty the Saturday *isnt* the issue with me........its the time they want us to work till.

Lets be honest lads/ladies weve all got lives to lead/families etc etc out of that place.


All the time they are telling us the volume of mail is dropping,its a complete load of codswallop,

Why,a few years ago did we get 2 van deliveries of mail,and now we are seeing 3,4 and sometimes 5 (per day).
Why,a few years ago was i taking 4 bags of mail out 5 (tops) on a busy day,and now i am taking 7 on a normal day,i had 9 one day last week.

if they tell you something so many times you tend to start believing it,not me.

How do deliveries work in Golders Green?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

And,with the help of agreements and the CWU i now work one day less than a lot on here.
My home life and finances have improved in the 15 years i have been here.
I also work harder which is not a problem.

There are ways to get more time out of the job if people work hard enough to sort them out.

All depending on who you are,favouritism is huge in our office.........you try getting that Saturday off you so desperatly need,not a chance!!!

Im owed 3 days in annual leave and 3 times ive tried to book them,and 3 times ive been refused........its a total shambles,an absolute disgrace,only to find out someone else in the office has been granted them,ive actually given up.
