I think this is the new templet for every delivery office shout, scream, blame everyone but yourself, lock yourself into your office and refuse to talk to anyone all day then send out letters and write things up on a notice board that we're not performing well enough and we're all useless
I thought you were talking about my office then :chuckle
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

They are paying untrained mail centre staff to do walks which is costing more because they are taking longer than the normal staff to do the walks,still as long as everyone is enjoying themselves. :cool

It's nice to be appreciated :Very Happy
That's just how it is in our office hey are we working in the same place,that's what the managers do all the time and if you ask a question or need an answer they get this rabbit in the head light look about them. :dance

Modesty forbids me from mentioning how much I got as a bonus, suffice to say that with diligence, hard work, flexibility, going that extra mile, accepting change for change sake, park and loop, using PDAs, working overtime without pay, kissing arse and touching the forelock you too could have f*ck all as a bonus.

Have been told to expect around £229.00 this week. Did not receive our payslips in the mail today so no confirmation in print yet!

Thanks to everyone who has posted what they got so far, this is my first time on here what a brilliant site for sharing info and having a good old moan to boot.

Been working for Royal Mail for 18 years now and been in 3 different Mail Centers as a PHG, sorry opg now can't use that anymore can i :oops:

Any way as we can all see such a difference in payments,I'm sure I'm working just as hard as others who have had better run offices and have benefited from better managers?

As I've said earlier in my 18 years i have never been part of a bonus scheme which i neither understand or benefited from in such a way that made think that bonuses were a good idea.

cheers

There's not been any mention of a bonus in our DO in the last few weeks and true to form one never arrived...


...likewise our DTD payments


Also I've heard that our DO supposedly needs to loose around 350 hours per week, so I'm guessing that could explain the lack of a bonus

We got s bonus, but I personally, think bonus's are a bad idea for us postmen, because you pay tax on it, it is NOT pensionable and I'd prefer a good wage rise, where everyone who works for the company gets a slice of the cake. But in my office, that seems a bad idea to most people, but then again 50% broke the strike, so say no more.

A third of my office came in during the strikes and we still get nothing :Very Happy but I can't help but wonder if the manager got his bonus :hmmmm (after all, from £41k last year to the whatever it is for a DOM in a small/medium office)
