The "thoughts " of our "more commercially min

Post by norbet colon »

THE THOUGHTS OF A "MORE COMMERCIALLY MINDED" SENIOR MANAGER
1. RM does NOT have to regain the trust of it's workforce, it's YOU that has to have faith in Royal Mail
2. Opposition to Royal Mail's plans is by misguided individuals living in the past
3. RM has had too high budgets to work with in the past and noone to answer to , that's why you are facing what you are facing today
4. It would have been impossible to impose these changes in the past with the prehistoric CWU
5. Leighton and Crozier are only bringing in changes ANY EVERYDAY Postman would bring in if he was put in charge
6. If our Postman took a career break in the outside world, within 3 months they'd all be begging for thier jobs back.
7. Why shouldn't our postmen walk the streets for more than 3 1-2 hours . A LOLLIPOP LADY spends more time on her feet than that
8. It's laughable that you think you can dictate when you start . You all expect to be paid for doing nothing, we expect flexibility from our Postmen.
9. Our Postmen have tools for the job so stop irrelevant complaints about weight .
10.It doesn't make any difference if you've a cold or cancer . Less than 10% appear on attendance procedure.The attendance procedure is within ACAS guidlines. We cannot have a appeals industry. If mistakes are made they are corrected by Senior Mgt.
11. Royal Mail do not dismiss many of our people on attendance procedure. It is not over zealous. Nothing has ever been disputed in a Tribunal or by Solicitors.
12. There has never been any personnel procedures that have been anything less than Best Practice .
13. Criticisms of ATOS Origin are simply because our people are hearing the advice they don't want to hear, appertaining to thier job.They are just a big company doing different things like Royal Mail.
14. These above criticisms are too subjective and misguided. They are only like a City fan having nothing good to say about United, fox hunters v saboeturs , burglars about the police.
15. Our B&H procedure is not motivated by Political Correctness , we are not dictated to by anyone. There is no inverted racism, it's simply that they form the majority. Our procedures have been proven to be best practice in Tribunals and Appeals. To allege otherwise you'd be entering far right territory

he wants brownie points off Leighton !, somebody said that post will go down in message board history. I did get a PM off another site" I've deleted your post "Big Al doesn't care " etc . If youv'e not met him you can't back it up - what! I just replied with " bit pedantic - I'm sure these hardnosed business types are very caring people".Shabba got banned on the CWU forum.
I suspect it's Royal Mail's usual our lawyers are watching bullying tactics and they've been leant on . RM ban two sites as they contravene B&H policy . On here it's f***** H*** ****, the managers mouthpiece , full of Leighton clones and bullyboys.I think they've been leant on re political correctness & RM'S B&H policy. What are they going to do , get your email address, then get your contact details off the ISP and get the IB to kick your door down?

I guess the union will be putting a grievance in against him then.

He must have got this from some official source because it's exactly what our managers say.

1- We have NO faith in RM ( Not the way its being run at the moment anyway )
2- I''m living now.....TIME TRAVEL is theoreticaly possible, but nobody has achieved it
3- RM has had its OWNER to answer to....THE STATE
4- Its still impossible....We're stonger than you.....
5- Not your avarage Postie...."turkeys voting for christmas"....I don't think so
6- I have worked elswhere ( factorys / retail / warehousing to name a few...) RM is no better than them...only THE PENSION is better....and thats in dought now
7- LOLLIPOP people spend about 60 mins in the morning / same in the afternoon working ....check your local authority for details...
8- EU / UK GOV directive....Family friendly hours...Its our right ...YOU ( RM ) have to justify why you can't give FFH's...In a business that employes so many people you cant say that you can't accomodate such start times
9-TOOLs...we dont even have enough bag drop-boxes on ANY delivery
10- Your telling me that a RM manager is MORE QUALIFIED to detemin whether a person is sick or not than a GP (5 years MED school / 1-2 yr.s House Doctor / Min 9 years before he can become a GP ! )
11- We have a postie in our office who was dismissed....Lost stage 3 appeal..went to a solicitors---JOB REINSTATED...£££ COMPENSATION
12- You don't know much do you.....
13- "Mmm Mmm Mmm" (fingers in my ears....) "Can't hear you".........
14- Your in denial..GET SOME HELP before its too late.
15- B & H policy is there to save your sorry ass from being sued.....B&H is widespread....(Including MANAGERS- I have PERSONAL experience of this ).....Your defence is that "we tried our best your honour....Honest we did"

YOUR DENIAL OF THE REAL WORLD IS WHY WE'RE ALWAYS AT EACH OTHERS THROATS....YOU should VALUE YOUR STAFF....we're your greatest asset....

Treat us bad....and were your WORST ENEMY......

If you worked with us , you could have the FINEST postal service in the world ( maybe not the most profitable ) BUT THE BEST SERVICE ( Hitting the highest QoS targets )

DON'T FORGET......

WE ARE STILL A GOV. OWNED SERVICE ( Set up to service the 27M addresses within the UK )....NOT A PRIVATE COMPANY - KISSING UP TO A FEW 100 JUNK MAILING COMPANYS

WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A MASSIVE PROFIT, THATS NOT OUR CHARTER

POSTAL LIBERALISATION HAS BEEN PUT BACK IN THE REST OF THE E.U. UNTIL 2012 AT THE EARLYEST...SO WHY ARE WE JUMPING THE GUN NOW !
I was sure I'd seen a bead of sweat on my line manager the other day - Until I realised that he had just brushed past me too close

It's a Leighton clone as moderator off a "Spikey" site , can't really be bothered argueing with all this patronising nonsense , he also "writes" the articles sometimes.There's been worse " I hope you lot can afford your Socialist Worker subscriptions on benefits , you won't be able to hide behind a keyboard and spout this drivel because you won't have broadband subscriptions , stirring up trouble , it was nice knowing you all as there's a will to break that 70's dinosaur union like never before". As for the subsequent postings -I couldn't agree more, I've just quoted what he said

in response to some of the points

1-how can you have faith in a compulsive lying based company that see fit to pay managers £5k in bonus for doing nothing and then turn round and say there is no more money for a pay rise
6--i know postmen that have taken career breaks and now don't want to come back
7-i would like to meet a lollipop lady that is on her feet for over 3 1/2 hours the ones near us only do 1 hour in the morning 1 in the afternoon
8-we don't dictate when we start the only reason royal mail want to change the start time's is to stop the shift allowance the early delivery is the one thing we had over the competition now they are trying to get rid of that

re the bit about the lollipop lady,it was the first thing that entered his head, it could have been a hairdresser etc. Ivory Towers dreadful senior mgrs , problem is that style works it's way down the RM foodchain :cfo :lfo
