how do you get on with your DOM

Sandyman · Post by **Sandyman** » 25 Nov 2008, 00:13

Xmas is coming and the DOM's are desperate........

They don't seem to get the fact that crapping on your staff 11 months a year does not make the staff want to work their butts off for the 12th month. The opposite will apply. As I said in another thread, it's Karma - what goes around comes around.

And therein lies the problem--You will findthat in a large number of offices, the reverse is true----the
slackers get away with everything, while the good hard workers are penalised!!!
Most of the 'whingers, (Including me!) moan with just cause.

In theory. in our office, no walk should be above 3/1/2 hours. In Practise, for a lot of us the walks,
on a bad day, have touched o 4/1/2 hours for some time.Over two years ago, I had my walk tested with
a member of Management,(On a very quiet Tuesday ) It worked out at 3/1/2 hours, and he didn't include the last 25 houses!
I remember, many years ago being singled out by the Unions for doing my walk "Too Quickly"-- now, of course. if you say to either Management or Unions about the Length of the walk. they suggest you are too slow!!
Canny win!

Fine, treat him with all the dignity and respect that I can muster, in fact the less I see of him the more I like him

The DOM's are only worried about ' the bonus, proving the budget works, and trying to keep out of the way of the Quality of Service SS.'

QOS

I've only heard of them coming to my office once in the past year, usually it's just the paperwork they fill in themselves as for the budget

we're massively over

but I'm sure he'll still be getting his bonus because the FT count has reduced by 3 this year

They seem to have a grudge against our place, they are always around. Test letters; coming in the office and taking photos, they even have a fit if the traffic board is not up to date. Our boys must have really pissed them off.
