Work Time Learning

Post by luddite »

After our WTL sessions if we've had a briefing on say security or PDA's etc we are asked to sign a document, is this to say we have attended the session or to confirm we agree and understand a new working practise? We are so sick of being pulled up on the most petty things that we thought not to sign anything from now on as it only seems to incriminate us :sad:
The next time the clipboard is passed around and we say nope or sign with an X any consequences?
thanks, (fed up to the back teeth)

Well you can always read it before you sign it so you know exactly what you are signing.

Both really.
You sign to say you were present at the WTLL.
It then follows that you were briefed on whatever was discussed at that WTLL.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Covers their arses,but you need to see the brief as well that they are gobbing on about,if it's not agreed with the CWU,you don't sign it.
There was something like this doing the rounds with the conduct code/integrity of mail bollox,in my area anyway,we were told not to sign it as they added words willy nilly.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Thanks Postman, we just get a sheet of paper with our pay numbers alongside, I've asked many times what am I signing for and been told it's to say I've attended the session. I think from now on it's gonna be an X,
sod 'em, 2 faced lying pr**s.

We sign a sheet to say we've attended but if it's about, say, security of mail or winter etc then we also each sign the sheet with all the info on - probably to cover their arses / use as a weapon should we get something wrong....

never sign for any sheets(some are several pages long) unless they give me time to read them and in a failing office its not mentioned again
