Offered a bonus if we clear all tracked items

Post by 1984 »

For the next 2 weeks, anyone who clears all their Tracked and doesn't bring back any P739s gets their name put into a hat, and the winner gets £50

Anyone else had this in their office?

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.

What is bribery?

Bribery is promising, offering, giving, requesting or accepting any advantage to
induce or reward behaviour that is improper (i.e. illegal, unethical or a breach of
duty). This can be directly or through a third party.

‘Advantages’ may be financial or non financial and may include: money, loans,
donations (including charitable donations), an award of business, employment
contracts and any other advantage or benefit which is intended, or perceived to
be, of value to the recipient or another person.

Royal Mail Group has a zero tolerance policy on bribery. Therefore:

You must never promise, offer or give a bribe

You must never request or accept a bribe

If you become aware of any knowledge or suspicion of bribery, you should
report it as soon as reasonably possible to your manager

You will not suffer demotion, penalty or other adverse consequences for
refusing to pay or receive bribes

Then after a few months "anyone who clears all their Tracked and doesn't bring back any P739s gets their name put into a hat and the winner gets £50" is used in court as a defence by a postman with an attic full of Tracked items. :no no :thumbdown

You see it isn't bribery but a bonus and I doubt it could be classed as illegal, unethical or a breach of duty more an incentive.

It's not bribery but it wouldn't stand up as a legitimate incentive as there are factors outside of the control of the potential recipients. I don't have an issue with incentives as such but they need to be fair and this is anything but.
