Maybe smoothbackground and Loubarlow need to become forum adminstrators so they can cross check every forum member with their RM employee number so they can delete accounts the split second an individual ceases to be employed by RM.
If they were both forum administrators then this chat would resemble the courier and not the real Royal Mail that we are all experiencing right now. The facts are that Royal Mail introduced a bonus incentive scheme with targets on Tracked and USO and most of them just like ours are failing miserably. That is a reflection of the imposed revisions that the leadership made earlier in the year and thousands of posties leaving the business.

Haha! But I think even I wouldn’t go that far — there were some really cringey quotes in the latest edition of The Courier, such as “Becky is always ready to serve her community by working overtime whenever needed” (cover story about three generations of RM employees) and other ultra positive/far fetched drivel.postslippete wrote: ↑21 Dec 2023, 15:51greengiant wrote: ↑20 Dec 2023, 21:43

I contribute way more than you ever will here.
Will you still post about how "amazing" your Delivery duty has become after you get another couple of hundred calls added, or smugly post about how your "amazing" managers are keeping your 6am start times/2pm finishes?
I'm sure you'll keep us all updated on the "amazing" office you work at! I Look forward to it

Look through our post histories. All mine are made in good faith and on topic. People might not agree with them but guess what? People have differing opinions. It’s a forum not an echo chamber.mwalker88 wrote: ↑21 Dec 2023, 19:49I contribute way more than you ever will here.

Then someone like you comes along, dishing out insults as well as mocking the new starters in the other thread and dragging threads off topic. You contribute diddly squat by doing this and ruin the place for everyone but you do seem a bitter man still grieving over not being able to keep your job, so I guess it is understandable.
Seriously if this is you in your best physical and mental health for 7 years you must have been a s**t show before.

Post your deranged nonsense on here when it suits your narrative.
Keep the forum updated on how good you've got it at your special DO, the people love to see it

Very well said and I couldn’t agree more. But that said, and even despite his quite nasty comments towards me, I do genuinely wish MWalker the very best of luck in terms of health,happiness, prosperity and wellbeing — and I mean that. I just think it is nigh time he found himself a forum more in line with his current profession, whatever that may be.LouBarlow wrote: ↑21 Dec 2023, 20:01Look through our post histories.

Don't mail centres need the delivery offices they despatch to , to achieve the bonus in order for them to get it. The same as Voc and distribution drivers? Think it was designed this way hoping the MC workers, drivers etc would volunteer to do ot in delivery offices to help them clear so they would get their bonus. Funnily enough no one from our mail centre or distribution have tuned up to clear any of our mail or parcels

Exactly. Two people who have managed to keep a job working for Royal Mail. I couldn’t have more respect for any new starter who sticks with the job right now and actually enjoys it.mwalker88 wrote: ↑21 Dec 2023, 20:17Two peas in a podSmoothbackground wrote: ↑21 Dec 2023, 20:15Very well said and I couldn’t agree more.

You’re in the best health of your life though. It’s healthy to obsess over a job you failed to keep to such an extent that you invent a dream job you moved on to and snipe at anyone enjoying the job you apparently don’t care about any more.
