I know i saw a flyer on our office notice board about it.
No s**t our planner was ex CWU rep for large millitant office on South Coast. When I asked him why - He replied 'didn't you read the agreement-we are all f***ed' If that is how reps feels up and down the country why not just roll over and ask for mercy?

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

One of the biggest flaws is actually beyond everyone's control,and delays or not has already taken place,RM in it's wisdom has paid for everything up front!
so rather than saying we'll take 20 WSM's on approval,we've bought the bloody lot,our mail centre should be issuing us with at least 60% walk sequenced,but we're lucky if we're getting 20%.
i know it may have been better before,but it wasn't cost effective,however everythings been based on assumptions,500 delivery points for example.
one more thing,the sequenced mail is supposed to save time,so if they assume it takes 50mins to prep your mail,and the machines will save you 10mins,what if it only took you 35mins anyway?

You work say 1hr less on a Tuesday and say 30mins more on a Wed & Thur.

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.

Long and shorts are a reaction to daily fluctuations in traffic,ie.monday is always quieter than friday,so rather than having a standard 8 hour shift,you could work less hours earlier in the week,and more later in the week,this also can give a shorter day on the saturday(for now at least)

Has anyone read the January edition of Courier?

I searched and searched, but not one word about Revisions, P&L or HCTs.... Absolutely amazing editing. How can the editor of this thing manage to edit it without any reference to the Gloriously Sucessful Revisions and the Happy Smiling Posties?

Even the USSR's Pravda at its worst managed stories about Pig Iron Production increasing year-on-year, when no such thing was really happening.

I say, sack the Editor of Courier for poor story generation performance.

We should just torture him, Jess, until he tells us where the smiling happy posties that feature in the courier work :chuckle
