Management have always allowed people to cut corners to get the job done and indeed it does make there job a lot easier, But people are deluding themselves if they think that job and knock still exists, i dont know where you work ( i guess your out in the sticks somewher)but i believe you are in for a rude awakening because things have changed and its a matter of allowing you enough rope to hang yourself. Also i would never want to be the stick that they use to batter another postman....' why cant you get done when such and such always gets done'. Its a slippery slope when others are being forced to carve the job up to match what you do.suz67 wrote:ok,fair enough,i've never ever run round my duty,but the way i do my job both indoor and outdoor allows me to make time,the dom knows that but he's happy because i (and a lot more)don't book and don't cut off making his life easier,all i'm saying is if staff (in general) are allowed to come in early,leave early on delivery,not take breaks,etc etc,who's to blame, that member of staff or royal mail,remember as far back as anyone can remember its been "job n knock",i still have a letter from alan leighton stating that,and it will be several generations,and the likes of you and me will be long gone,before RM will change this attitude.i'd like someone to explain why a dom doesn't open the office in a morning,in 14 years never seen a dom open our place up,i wonder why!
