Probably time people started going off sick, only problem is will they still pay you? Wouldn’t put it past them to stop sick pay.sindba wrote: ↑13 Mar 2023, 19:42This can't be true. If managers are doing this, it's as clear a case of bullying and harassment as you'll ever see.Shirtbuttons wrote: ↑13 Mar 2023, 19:39Yes this is true. It is called the line in the sand letter. We have massive walks with 1500 delivery points all hills and long drives. Totally unachievable, the whole office is failing and now been told it’s 3 strikes and out. Mental illness has gone through the roof.we are losing staff every week. The way it’s going hopefully I’ll be there to lock up and turn the lights out.ReturnToSenderrr wrote: ↑13 Mar 2023, 18:05Any truth in this? If you fail your deliveries you recieve a letter, if you fail to complete the delivery on the 2nd day its conduct and if you fail 3 times you are facing dismissal.
Overtime is voluntary. You simply cannot be dismissed for not wanting to do it.

I don't really care though.Shirtbuttons wrote: ↑13 Mar 2023, 19:54

They can give me as many bullying letters as they want. They cannot and will not conduct me for not working over my contracted hours.

Nothing to do with working over your hours. You will be told you are not up to the standard required . Check some of the FB comments. There is more regarding this on there

LTB added to 1st post.

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.
