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.

Re: Revisions going live this week
Nobody has agreed to the revision or the start times! It's just a massive farce! (Shock). Not had a vote, trying to get everybody to vote by show if hands on 1 in 4 or 1 in 6! Scaring ppl by saying if we vote 1 in 4 that we will lose 3 full time members of staff.

Re: Revisions going live this week
We were told that as well. Took us over a year to finally get 75% 1 in 4s as well as increase full time in office as well. Don't believe any manager that says it costs jobs. RM don't want staff to have it that's all.Tank wrote:Nobody has agreed to the revision or the start times! It's just a massive farce! (Shock).

Re: Revisions going live this week
Tank don't take this the wrong way but why is your office allowing Royal Mail to do this. For all the criticism about the national agreement and guidelines the agreement is a negotiation as is start times and the menu of options is in step 1 of the process. Yes improved attendances can alter the mix of full time staff but again the increase in indoor performance is a negotiation.
I would advise you to get in touch with your area rep , branch and divisional rep.
The agreement does not allow Royal Mail to introduce the agreement on their own It has a phase 4 joint sign off which should be subject to a vote of your office .
Good luck

Re: Revisions going live this week
I liken this crazy madhouse of a company, to a man who steps in the biggest dog turd you've ever seen in your life, and goes and does it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and despite knowing it's not a very good idea, does it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, zzzzzzzzz

Re: Revisions going live this week
Ebbw Vale is not going to well either....
Only 50% of office is doing P&L now instead of all of it. The other half starts next week (a fortnight later)
Part timers still having to throw 75% of there rounds out
No one to cover if partner goes sick. The other partner has to take everything and deliver what they can
Some S.A's being cancelled due to being late back from delivery
Massive fails due to huge rounds
Set breaks not being enforced
Its what the business wants!
