Just how i feel about our job at the moment.

I enjoy the job sometimes, but what does get me down is that I think that RM should do away with line managers and have 2 supervisors (probably experienced postmen/women) in each section and just pay them probably £35 a week more. I'm sure this would work better than the system RM has now, this would save RM alot of money, do we really need all these managers?

Thats a good idea, it would certainly cut down on people who try it on with managers and always get away with it. Also if your supervisor is actually doing the same job as you, your are more likely to respect their decisions and therefore probably more wiling to pitch in when the proverbial hits the fan.

Hang on a min, wasn't that part of team working?

This would be different from team working, I have seen this system work in quite a few industries, its just that the supervisors are working along side the postmen/women and there is a better working relationship. Supervisors would sort out the day-to-day running of their section such as workload, annual leave, lieu leave, days off, etc. However, when it comes to sick absence, disclipnary and grivenances, etc, the shift manager would sort this out not the supervisors.

I like the job once im out of the office,the managers and i use that term in a very loose manner are so useless that i cant find the words to describe them,we have a young women who was u,s as a postie and is paid 25 grand per year for passing the buck and talk about not doing her job its embarrassing and the DUM fully supports her most uselessness,the 4 other male managers are so busy with the im better than he is and snitching on each other that the job is not getting done,it has become so bad in our DO that the staff are banging thier heads against the wall if you gotta problem you just dont go to a manager anymore because they dont do anything unless you screw up then they get that big black stick out and beat you sensless with it,that seems to be the only time that you get a response from them.
