i understand alright :cool it is an excuse and if you dont see it then your only gullible
What you are saying is the fire escapes are blocked in your DO and you do and say nothing about it?
There was no attention paid to Covid in your DO yet you said and did nothing about it?

Then there is no point coming on here and giving it the big I am if you are just a quiet little sheep in your own office.
Maybe it is time for you to stand up and be counted where it counts?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

So why are we told to deliver every Tracked item including letter box sized items and not just the oversized parcels?

Because customers pay a premium to have it sent using the Tracked service. I don't agree with it as the price of postage has increased for letters and as someone mentioned the standards and non-tracked are often not being delivered. Like I said it's the only target that we can hit and it makes the managers look a bit better in our office.

not giving it the no big man, just saying it as it is. I was far from the quiet one in my office, yet again shows what you know jumping to conclusions :dance

RM put out this incentive knowing full well that only one target was deliberately going to be hit. It perfectly suits them that the USO targets are failing because

1. They don't pay us any of the bonus
2. They only want to deliver letters a few days a week
3. They want to deliver parcels 7 days a week

isles and fire escapes are blocked in some offices regardless of how many parcels,
Anyone aware of a blocked fire exit in their building has a responsibility to clear it. It's not like discovering you got a fake pound coin as change and fob it off on someone else.
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?

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.

Looks like quite a small delivery office so probably easier to hit the targets? Where are the 50+ yorks of larger parcels??

Where does your office put yours?

In ours its drop bags for the parcels that go to the frames/in bags and the yorks for the larger/heavier parcels
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Big packet shrouds for the smaller parcels and yorks for the larger/heavier parcels.

We've had a "bullring" of sleeved York's for about the last 8 years, no chance these days of using dpfs you'd be replacing the bags every 10 minutes.
