EVERYTHING changes then, offices will be getting your mail for next day delivery in the afternoon/evenings.
He has no intention of equalising new entrants.
Finally you heard it from the big man, parcels are NOT prioritised over letters!!!

Re: Select committee hearing
they got off lightly cwu let them off lightly as they are so fixated on new entrants not getting enough wages there making out thats why theres no staff, when in reality lots of legacy staff have left, its nothing to do with the shitty wage the conditions are shite treble mail every day for a reserve, not every frame covered, walking for 6 hours getting micromanaged for every thing, going home straight to bed cause ur to knackered to do anything, theres lot of better jobs out there for similar wages, to say monday and tuesdays are light days is not a reflection when u have double mail because the frame from the day before wasnt covered

Re: Select committee hearing
The only time he appeared to be uncomfortable was when he was questioned about the Russian gas - but what the f did that have to do with anything.
And it provided a diversion whereby he didn't have to answer questions about RM.
And what happened when Thompson was brought back on oath? Nothing.

Re: Select committee hearing
All a bit of showboating by the PC, just like local MP's writing letters to RM complaining about the service, they all probably know the only way to solve the problem is renationalise RM but no Government has got the appetite to spend £B's on a dying mail service.yellowbelly wrote: ↑Today, 10:28The only time he appeared to be uncomfortable was when he was questioned about the Russian gas - but what the f did that have to do with anything.

Re: Select committee hearing
If Kretinsky thinks increasing our workload and not equalising the contracts is going to improve performance then he is seriously delusional. Majority of posties in my DO have completely downed tools in the last month with the huge increase in workload, guys that always cleared their walks now aren’t attempting to at all. The morale is at rock bottom. You cannot squeeze 33 percent more work out of already overworked staff.
Equalise the contracts and you won’t have the same number of employees leaving within a year, saving money on recruitment and new uniforms. The uplifted posties will go back to working hard as they will feel valued, they would do more work, saving money on overtime.
If you don’t equalise the contracts, then you get the minimum work for minimum wage response. You will have every new contract in the country angry at broken promises and working to rule.
The fact that Kretinsky can’t see the damage he is doing to his own company is mind boggling. Treat your staff well and you will reap the benefits. Treat them like a piece of crap and watch them deliberately destroy your company. Daniel Kretinsky needs to go back to school and learn how to run a business properly.

It is an organised strategy of failure to get the USO cut again and especially for first class
He thinks failure helps his case

Re: Select committee hearing
If course workload is relevant, as it's a damn sight easier to deliver one days mail than 2 or more days mail, on a light day you can even finish your duty early, there's no chance of that with 2 or more days mail.Pfrizzy10 wrote: ↑Today, 14:22Start and finish on your time and the workload is irrelevant.blackrose23 wrote: ↑Today, 13:57If Kretinsky thinks increasing our workload and not equalising the contracts is going to improve performance then he is seriously delusional.

Re: Select committee hearing
You aren’t allowed to finish early, or shouldn’t be at least. You have to work your hours. If there’s one days mail or 10 days mail in a frame, it makes no difference. I am back at the exact same time.TopperGas wrote: ↑Today, 17:16If course workload is relevant, as it's a damn sight easier to deliver one days mail than 2 or more days mail, on a light day you can even finish your duty early, there's no chance of that with 2 or more days mail.Pfrizzy10 wrote: ↑Today, 14:22Start and finish on your time and the workload is irrelevant.blackrose23 wrote: ↑Today, 13:57If Kretinsky thinks increasing our workload and not equalising the contracts is going to improve performance then he is seriously delusional.

Re: Select committee hearing
Yes but its a harder day and more stressful and if you bring some back it has a roll on effect,its not just about start and finish time most people want to go to work with a normal workload not two or three days.Pfrizzy10 wrote: ↑Today, 17:44You aren’t allowed to finish early, or shouldn’t be at least.

Re: Select committee hearing
Why is it harder or more stressful? Your working the same hours at the same pace as always. If they don’t give a dam if its cleared then we definitely aren’t paid enough to worry about it.richietns wrote: ↑Today, 17:58Yes but its a harder day and more stressful and if you bring some back it has a roll on effect,its not just about start and finish time most people want to go to work with a normal workload not two or three days.Pfrizzy10 wrote: ↑Today, 17:44You aren’t allowed to finish early, or shouldn’t be at least.

Re: Select committee hearing
Who said anything about finishing work early? Only somebody who doesn't really do the job can say doing one days mail is the same as doing 10 days mail, finishing time is irrelevant if you've 10 days mail to carry around before you finish work.Pfrizzy10 wrote: ↑Today, 17:44You aren’t allowed to finish early, or shouldn’t be at least.
