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.

We keep making the tracked target but no where near the USO target
Wonder how many offices are the same?? Surely that should highlight how tracked are prioritised over mail
Wonder if any managers will be sacked after Xmas for blatantly prioritising tracked over everything else

Has anyone ever been sacked for blatantly prioritising Special Deliveries over everything else?
It is what we have always done.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

They don't prioritise tracked, it's done for 'Elf and safetee' reasons so nobody trips over the rolls of kitchen roll that get ordered online.
This is true. That is why mail isn't being delivered - so it can be in trays tucked underneath the workstation. To be fair to our managers the only target that we can hit right now are the Tracked.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

So why are we told to deliver every Tracked item including letter box sized items and not just the oversized parcels?postslippete wrote: ↑10 Dec 2023, 19:28yellowbelly wrote: ↑10 Dec 2023, 09:21

The health and safety excuse came up last year at the parliamentary committee. I'm amazed it's taken this long for them to bring it up again.

How is it an excuse?
If we have a 1000 letters in the DO nobody would notice. If we have 1000 large parcels the place becomes difficult to navigate. Should we block the aisles and fire escapes while we deliver the letters?

Re: RMCtv : The 'They have only gone and got an extra 25 squid bonus' thread
isles and fire escapes are blocked in some offices regardless of how many parcels, the H&S excuse of doing parcels is just that, an excuse. NON tracked parcels dont cause the H&S issue though, only trackedclashcityrocker wrote: ↑11 Dec 2023, 15:02How is it an excuse?

If the fire escapes are blocked in your DO then your union reps at all levels need to resign and your managers sacked.
If you don't understand basic H&S then obviously you regard any attempt to enforce it as an excuse.
