I don’t know but I am not looking forward to seeing those 2 on the next you tube update, its so painful to watch with their pleading for pointless thumbs up messages and telling us nothing of substance, it’s worse than riding a bike after having your back,sack & crack waxed!

Just tell the government Royal Mail is going under if we don't go to a 5 day letter service.

Lose staff through natural wastage, or voluntary redundancy, no compulsory redundancies.

Posties work a 5 day week Mon-Fri.

Overtime on weekends and/or get in weekend staff.

No change to start times.

Reduce the amount of line managers as they do barely anything or make them do more work. Standing around too much during the morning, standing around too much at the end of the day when there's plenty of door2doors that people are behind on due to lack of time/staff. Why aren't they putting them into our frames instead of hanging around chatting.

As mental as that maube sounds, that would more than likely work! Especially regards the Lino's doing f*** all for 90% of the day, ours spends more time on the bay smoking than doing anything constructive :roll:

Many firms have converted line managers into "Team Leaders" who do the same work as everyone else but also have a few admin/management tasks as well

They might make the revisions a bit more realistic if this was the case.

They would get rid of way more staff than that maybe it would be OK for the first year or two but they would just thin it down even more for profit they're trying to shrink the whole business the uso is keeping jobs for the moment.

This morning we had 7 managers sat in their office visibly eating doughnuts by the window with our rep. One manager was on the floor going round the 5 sections making sure things were getting done (he's on a diet, otherwise he'd have been in there with them.)
Why do we need so many managers?! Why is it acceptable for them to do literally nothing?! Why was there only one there when I got back to the DO?! Why is one of the managers that's doing nothing a guy who took a payoff last year and left, and is now boasting of the "bonus" they paid him to return?!

All this talk of wasted money and they chuck it at people who are just taking it for nothing
