Thought there was no negotiations till the national thing got sorted.

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.

Oh yeah it was lumpy on my walk as well.

Not too bad today, alot of mailsort from yesterday, the full timers just throw in my M/S anywhere not even the same road sometimes(w*****s).
we have a sort of them and us situation in my office, it's hard enough battling managers let alone trying to battle the staff you work with, Because i do 30 mins less sorting and don't have to wait for missort's and can then get out by about 7am to 7:30am not 8:30 they get the right dog about it, they say i should throw in my own M/S for the next day and the managers say not, but if the boot was on the other foot i wounder if they would do the same?
i think not :shock:
If you are going through hell, Keep going.

DOM'S A DISGRACE!!

Post by smartie »

I KINDLY APPROACHED MY DICKHEAD DWARFY DOM THIS MORNING AND KINDLY ASKED HIM IF I COULD TAKE 4 DAYS OF NEXT WEEK AS I AM MOVING HOUSE (HOPEFULLY ON THE WEEKEND,) BUT WON'T EXACTLT KNOW FOR DEFINITE UNTIL TOMORROW, AS MY COMPLETION DATE IS FOR THE 15TH,( YOU KNOW ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.)
MY DICKHEAD DOM REPLIED WITH HASTE AND A TONED VOICE, YOU KNOW WE ARE BUSY WITH SUMMER LEAVE BLAAAHH BLAAAAH ****ING BLAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

WHAT AN INCONSIDERATE T**T. SORRY FOR THE BAD LANGUAGE BUT I AM FURIOUS. I NEVER GO IN THE OFFICE AND MOAN ABOUT ANYTHING OR I CAN'T DO THIS AND THAT SHIFT LIKE SOME OF THE POSTIES IN MY OFFICE, I HAVE FAMILY COMMITMENTS ALSO. BUT WHEN I ASK FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS ITS ONE BIG NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I HAVE 14DAYS OWING TO ME AND THEY WONT GIVE ME MY TIME OFF WHEN I MOST NEED IT.
I WILL PROBABLY MAKE A COMPLAINT TO THE AREA MANAGER ABOUT MY DICKHEAD DOM, HE ALREADY HAS A GREIVANCE CASE AGAINST HIM PREHAPS I WILL MAKE IT NUMBER TWO.
ALSO WHY I WAS ASKING HIM HE KEPT WALKING AWAY FROM ME SO I SHOUTED OUT I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS s**t. HE JUST WALKED AWAY. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO DIVERSITY AND ALL THAT CRAP.

I WAS REALLY DISHEARTENED TODAY I FIND IT DISGUSTING HOW THEY THINK THEY CAN TREAT YOU.

HEY TOMMO IF YOU ARE READING THIS I WON'T LET THE DWARFY BASTARD GRIND ME DOWN I WILL BE GRINDING HIM DOWN INTO THE GROUND. :Applause PS. HAD TO HAVE A RANT!!! I'M A POSTIE GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!

WHY, WHEN YOU'RE OWED DAYS IN LIEU, YOU END UP TAKING THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY WHEN IT'S MINUS 6. SMARTIE, YOU SHOULD TELL YOUR DUM.. I MEAN DOM TO STOP BEING A C**T OR YOU'LL SLAP A GRIEVANCE IN.
IF RM DON'T WANT TO OWE YOU TIME OFF THAT'S ACCUMULATED BY BANK HOLIDAYS ETC., WHY DON'T THEY COME UP WITH A SOLUTION.

Im very interested if there are any Casual workers or even P/T workers brought in to cover Summer leave in your office???

If so with the Casuals then how can Ur screw say no??? This is a point ithink should be brought up!!!

The Point of "u never moaning." Is prob going against you as he thinks your a push over?? I dont know..??

Im glad he wont grind you down and a Greivence is in order if anyone else has been given time off in your office by him for the same thing. (moving) Ask about and find out... 2nd thing is, This screw ignoring you needs to be addressed mate..
Diversity indeed is in play here as he should treat everybody with respect.. Get witnesses as many as u can signed up and time n dated!!! On the time off most give for moving is 2 days ive heard of But only when they get there compleation date.. If u have 14 days spare u can bet you bottom dollar end of leave year (april) bet they told people to take leave they didnt want to take like in my MC and previous DO.. I think its a fecking cheek!!!


GIVE IT TO EM SMARTIE!!! :Applause :Applause :Applause :Applause :Applause :Applause GREIVENCE HIM UP!!!

PS 1 going in for me as well... Keep em running if you have a point stick one in!!!! :Applause :Applause :Applause
