Reply To: Work Your Proper Hours Day
At my work, we used to have what was called ‘job and finish’.
Some postal workers would come in early or decline to take official breaks so to sort up their mail for their delivery route, to be the first out with many taking their own car rather than Royal Mail vehicles hoping to be the first to finish and go home.
Such flexibility was removed when individual work-loads increased. The result was that all mail was delayed with postal workers obliged to work to their official finishing times.
