you only have to work your scheduled hours. If youre coming in to a lot of prep work then this is a reason why youre not completing in time. If it happens tomorrow id tell the manager straight away that you have come in to a lot still to prep and get ready and that you only want to work till your scheduled time (if thats what you want to do). Theyre not likely to be happy about it, but its your right. In general ALWAYS make sure you talk to the manager before you leave the office if you think you wont get everything done and will bring back mail with you at your finish time. I assume youre in the union ? I always think its a good idea to talk to them about it especially when youre new, so he knows whats going on.Rogers84 wrote:Is this normal, I'm new starter part-time been put on a duty with another part timer both of us don't know the duty or frame.

I've never known a company to treat it's workers so badly. 'Our people' these c***s have the gall to call us, then treat us like absolute s**t each and every f***ing day.

Always make sure you keep your tetanus jab up to date. They last about 10 years now, but worth it. Hope it isn't too bad.CPTNemoUK wrote:I am officially a fully fledged postman. Took me 3 years but i have finally been bitten by a dog.the joys of this wonderful job.
