Today our managers once again, for a Tuesday, saved ~50 hours (~£500) by not holding any of the 30mins work time learning scheduled into Tuesday's duties.

Instead, they got lapsing done and/or duty deliveries completed mostly inside contract hours.

Hey look DSM, our depot duty sizes are fine, OPGs are mostly finishing early/on time on a Tuesday. ;liar

Work Time Waste of Time more like. Do you actually WANT to do WTL?!

I see what you mean though, if the 30mins is scheduled into RM time and the area manager THINKS we are getting WTL done AND finishing on time then he'll be thinking we have too many staff.

But I still think WTL is a joke. Yeah lets all watch a a fire-extinguisher video? WTF? I'm not tackling a f***ing fire whether I've watched an unrealistic video about fire fighting or not.

I saw a film about bomb disposal once - does that mean I'm going to start defusing bombs? DOES IT f**k. :no no

Absolute sodding nightmare of a day !!!! Poll cards for every address; BT cards for virtually every address; about 3 times more mech than usual, and packets through the roof. Everyone at least an hour late going out and getting back, and we got back to find two lots of "candidate mail" for tomorrow - both for every address again. I suppose it could have been worse - they could have let them go on Saturday. :evil/mad

What a day, got back to the office at 3.30, it was like a busy Wednesday and some, forgetting the voting material, I don't get where all the mail came from considering the B/H's
