Leggett, Compo, Spuddy.
Have you been told your xmas hours yet?
This morning a LAN came through which our manager read out.
Due to an expected 9% drop in traffic this xmas, delivery staff will not be getting the usual 14 hours scheduled attendance spread over the 2 week xmas pressure period.
Instead, we are offering 6 hours over the 2 weeks. :x
6 hours overtime for the 2 weeks !!!!!
It works out about 20-30 mins a fucking day!
During xmas pressure i regularly go 2-3 hours over my time!
Are we expected to work for nothing?!

It's a competive market place but we're being worked to the bone.
We've been told next year we need to make a 10% saving. Thats roughly 200 hours a week (5 rounds) !
The rounds are pushed to the limit already, we're just not gonna cope soon.

Our office haven't striked for 15 years now.
Oxford mail centre and the surrouding delivery offices are always out. At Chipping Norton we've always kept ourselves to ourselves, we do need to stand up to them.

Have you pointed out that 9% drop of 14 hours is not 6 hours (it should drop to 12 3/4 hours after the 9% is taken off).

Wouldn't do much good Simon, they never listen.
The drop in traffic is bullshit anyway. They constantly say traffic is down when infact it's up.

This is the water.
And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.
