You sense questions needs to be asked by the media why DK is seemingly behind destroying our USO is it just for financial gains or something far more sinister? They need to forget blaming the CWU and look at the bigger picture.

It does make you wonder, we are not able to fulfil our delivery obligations because we have too much to deliver, but we need to reduce the USO because there is a drastic reduction in what we deliver :crazy:
Yes they conveniently bang on about mail volumes being down compared to years past but never about reduction in workers processing and delivering todays volumes compared to then
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

You are upset because you have standards - that's very good. Just do your best and work your time and let it be the manager's problem.

Pretty similar to us.

Don't stress it, I know it's easier said than done because like me you sound like you want to clear everything because you have pride in yourself but unfortunately them days are gone.

Do what you can in the time you have and that's that.

Bonus is not related to standard parcels and recorded, I said to my Manager the other day, bet you've hit your target for the bonus, he said no my 'card' is only showing green on signing in/out everything else is Red absolute bulls*** must think I came down in the last shower!

Probably not personal, more than likely an idiot who doesn't have the common sense to realise it would make sense to put someone on with you for a couple of days to plough through the backlog. Royal mail management in a nutshell, the bad ones heavily outweigh the good ones!

this is why we won't get a decent deal, rm don't give a flying feck about letters
it needs cwu to issue a statement that you bag up everything asked by a comm no matter what time you get out, deliver the route in a normal manner and like always break off for 1pm specials,
then at 12pm if no phone call ON THE PDA and not your own mobile unless they are paying the bill, drive back and inform them that you cannot complete and will go back out, also a chance to take a break with facilities,
wtf are people using their own mobiles for?
only way to hit these tw@ts is to stop their "deliver tracked no matter" mentality
if only ofcom would do anything but they're worse than our board

but the cwu leaders continue to bury their heads in the sand with no clue on how to play the system like they do

Don’t take it personally. Look on the bright side if you can, you’re doing a lot less walking just doing the packets. What’s not getting done is not your problem
