Lapsing, the latest scam from those at the very top, who I wouldn't trust to run a whelk stall, let alone a national institution. It involves the dimwits taking two or three people off their duties for whatever reason is handiest, then splitting those lapsed duties among the already overworked rest of the staff, who sort, prep, and deliver the extra, unasked for, unwanted, workload. For this little gem of a scam, we, the ones actually doing the grafting, get feck all. The most useless bosses in the world on the other hand, they get a nice little bonus come next april/may. DSMs get £9000 by way of a bonus thanks to our hard work. Cluster DIMs get £6,500 by way of a bonus thanks again to our hard graft. DIMs get £4000 by way of a bonus thanks yet again to the hard graft put in by posties. We get feck all, that's right, feck all.

As I said at the beginning of my rant, a scam. :cfo :cfo

A big problem hub is the way they do it

Senior bods,or bods settled on their walks are being thrown off them on to the reserve list as walks nearer the office are being lapsed.

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.

Lapsing is f'ing brill. It's where all the brain dead posties get to come in 2 hrs early for zip , prep like termites on speed, load their cars up with bags,leave the missort run till whenever,doorstep, forge sigs,arrange unsafe bag drops,you know the score, theres a thousand ways to skim a mo :nervous Anyone think that management have realised that "all the hours they are paid for" applies to them as well :roll:
