Postie - 8 45am “Boss got to much on today won’t be able to finish in time“
DOM - “your not due out till 10 30 it’s a bit early telling me now come back when your about to go out we will access the situation then”
Postie “Ok”
10 15 am Postie - “Boss still won’t be able to finish in time to much on won’t be able to do tracked or packets”
DOM - “it’s a bit late telling me now pal I have nobody and I mean nobody to cover anything on your duty, tell you what leave the packets just take the tracked”
Postie - “I’m not going over boss”
DOM “come and see me in the morning and I will pay you what you went over” Walks away!
DOM comes back "if your telling me you can't finish those two walks and the tracked and the mail traffic is down today well I will be speaking to you tomorrow on a performance issue"
Postie looks for Union rep, Union rep has been in early and long gone.
Priceless! You can’t make this stuff up

Pretty much our office too.

The only difference is that our rep would be standing next to the DOM telling us how easy our round is and that it should have more added.

All kidding aside, the images showed a notable level of neglect by the RM managers when it comes to forcing a Royal Mail postie to misuse Royal Mail delivery equipment, hence the reason why the pics were posted in the Bullying and Harassment thread.

However, with no follow-up discussion, and the possibility of management retribution for unauthorized photos of Royal Mail delivery equipment posted in RM Chat, the pics have now been deleted.

Yes causing it not preventing it and speaking from experience and even being told it was deliberately done.

Unfortunately the union have been pi$$ poor in getting B&H sorted in this company and far too many have suffered because of it.

Deliberately done for what reason?

To make people quit to reduce staff for free?

To make people break down for their own enjoyment?
