trolley- weight of your back, manager on your back

Post by gman »

is this a case of royal mail ying yang?? im using a trolley whilst others aint and obviously it takes me longer to complete my duty as apposed to a guy using a bag and cutting corners walking through gardens etc, suppose im a bit like the guy from geo-route, i go in and out of each call as my employer has asked me. however my manager seems to think im swinging the lead because im claiming excess every week as a result of doing my job properly, plus i take my break where as the last guy didnt.... the problem is the manager is starting to focus a lot of attention on me because of this, and pro management union rep wont offer me proper protection.... what do you guys suggest i do.....

ps. i dont give handbacks either, i just claim the ot at the end of the week

Is this P&L or just run of the mill.
Also merged the two topics.

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.

The pressure from your manager will only go to a certain point . If you are confident in your ability in getting the job done right invite him out with you to see if he can pinpoint where you are going wrong , he'll probably have a panic attack and after that you won't hear from him for months .
