Take your union rep with you

why do we have to have a one to one

Because it was part of the New Agreement that People voted for!

[Carnoustie]

I'd quite enjoy a battle of wits with my manager. Him being unarmed in that respect, it'd be an easy victory

[sammysammy]

How about smaller walks for a start?????that will get the good feel back in my office!!!!!!

Was it I don't remember seeing it - or was your reply a bit tongue in cheek.

On the issue itself - No we have not been told this - it sounds like your DOM is doing it unilaterally or it might be an area thing. Anyway why we do we need it we the the HYS surveys. Anyway MHO is that one to one meeting about this sort of matter is far to open to abuse from both sides so I think it would be a non starter anyway.

Another pointless exercise which wastes our time and the DOM's time. I'm not against these things but the problem is that as with 'Have Your Say' anything you add which you feel may improve your office or any negative responses are largely ignored. These initiatives are thought up by people we never see and are forced upon the DOM's who unfortunately are forced to go through the process of which the responses hold no interest to them therefore making the whole process a sham. If the DOM's had the ability to use there own initiative and come up with these ideas themselves then Royal Mail might be a better place to work but at the moment they care about us as much as we care about them, and coming up with these hair brained schemes isn't going to fix that.

They will most likely misrepresent what is said to them and then announce that everyone is happy with all the changes that are coming in.

are any capable of doing this ? most have not enough grey matter

I know mad aint it. They pay Professor Ian Wilmut, of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh millions to create Dolly, all he had to do was ask AL and AC how to do it.









Its a joke........................

I wonder how much they paid someone to come up with this idiotic idea.

No word of it yet in our office, but we're short staffed at the moment with people using up annual leave & sickness on top!

If you have to go in with your DOM for a 1 2 1 just sit and say nothing,

I think that's Leighton's Walmart "Open Door " anti-union policy idea , and all this corporate nonsense, we are in it together , about being valued and listened to . Very Blue Sky from Old St , very half baked and harebrained .

It would be abused , the DUM's will need feeding with tittle tattle about staff, or it'd turn into a propaganda brainwashing session. Seen this happen in another industry , we'd to get a motion passed to get rid of a confrontational bullying space cadet .There was plenty of these p*** poor managers due to a p*** poor recruitment & selection policy.

Just tell them that you do not feel comfy doing a 1 2 1 wtl with a manager, and that if they want to do one then (get some people together) tell them you only feel comfy if the a few of you their. I dont think they can get you todo a 1 2 1 wtl if you don't feel comfy with it. Saying that I could totally be wrong.

[crocodillapig]

it is just a new way for the manager to say that he has conducted a survey of the staff and they all feel that they can do more work faster for less money NOT!
