Sometimes we have to prioritise pkts for health and safetyrambo1 wrote: ↑17 Jan 2023, 18:13Had a chuckle at his explanation that our offices and delivery frames are primed for letters not pkts so we have to prioritize pkts after strikes as there's nowhere to STORE THEM. So Simon , are you saying a royal mail 2000 frame IS a good place to store letters! Jeez he wouldn't hold up in a court trial. He will be out of a job very very soon is my prediction. Question is, will the next one be any better?

Been prioritising packets ever since tracked were introduced. If the tracked failed the office failed therefore get the tracked done and then management can pretend everything is working fine!
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Rogue DoM? We are told every day tracked are to be prioritised and mail is to be left if need be.

We all need to start prioritising the mail over parcels and stick it to management.

Re: Royal Mail accused of prioritising parcels over letters
I get that they don't have enough room to hold large amounts of extra parcels in offices and it could potentially be safety hazard having excess parcels in an office....
but management will lose their mind if you bring back just 1 small tracked parcel because as far as I know their performance is based on having close to 100% tracked clearance, that is their aim.
Also - any tracked parcels that are brought back - they will try to get someone to clear them on overtime, meanwhile there will be mail that hasn't been delivered for days that is just ignored.
^^^^^^ This is how and why they prioritise tracked parcels.

David Bharrat, a postal worker who is also a branch secretary for the Communication Workers Union, says the poster was displayed in a delivery office in the Harrow and District area.

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.

Simple question, what’s the bonus percentage for zero mail failures for a Dom? Answer, there isn’t one

Re: Royal Mail accused of prioritising parcels over letters
There is a bonus linked to tracked performance.
It forms a % of their overall bonus.

The only rogue action he took was to put it in writing and on a wall. So long as this unofficial policy is spread by oral tradition only they can plausibly deny it. Unless someone were to record audio from a team meeting
The machine stops.
