The poster was from a rogue delivery office manager in NI.

Thompson knew that and explained it exactly, can't see the problem.
In that case, there are a lot of "rouge delivery office managers".

Had 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?
Sometimes we have to prioritise pkts for health and safety :left:

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!

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

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

There is a bonus linked to tracked performance.
It forms a % of their overall bonus.

Thompson has misled parliament.
He should be charged forthwith.
He is lying simple as that
We all know the truth,see it every day
Of course he is . I thought his performance this morning was embarrassing. He proved beyond doubt this morning that he shouldn’t be our CEO . Do us all a favour Simon , please pack your bags and leave the company before you do any more damage .

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 :whistle
