HELP!

[newpostie]

Right i need some help please, i was in work yesturday which was a saturday, and im a part timer, right anyway i came in and my walk was nowher near preped and i was prepping till half 10-11 so i informed my manager i wil be working to my time, he goes the usual business etc.. anyways he tells me to bring the mail back at 1.40, my exact words were u know perfectly well u won't be here at 1.40 he replys hes there till 2! so i though hms, i asked bout the PHG and that and they informed me he does stay later somtimes anyway, was doin my work and it came to my cut off point, so i had 2 bundles of mail left and a few packets, anyway got back to work only for the gates to be closed! soo i thought what should i do here, so i rang the plastic gaffer n he was like well just take it home and tell them on monday, so i taken it home and im like:\ panicing over it:( did i do the right thing?

I would post in the nearest post box to the office and tell them thats what you did first thing monday as you did not want to take it home and they can retrieve the bundled mail before proper collections begin if they wish

[shaunman]

No, u need to go and put it in 1 of your pouch boxes. Taking it home is sackable. You need to write a note on some paper and put it over the mail, write on why it was left and your manager will have to report it as a failure on monday. Thats what I would do anyway. Also from now on always speak to a manager with someone there, preferably your union rep. Also I would put a complaint in on the grounds of health and safety, as someone should be there when you return to the office.

were there any witnesses when you spoke to your manager?
if i were you i would shove the lot back in the box and mark them as cut-off/do shut...

[stokes11eg]

Surely these Managers should be reprted, it seems they are trying to dodge out of doing part walks themselves, and therefore are guilty of witholding mail?

[newpostie]

there was a temporay line manager there hu i was speakin to bout it also spoke 2 a couple of postman around the office, the fing is they wont fit through letterboxes pretty big bundles, also with speaking to this guy who gaffers he said if you have any problems tell them he told u to take it home. its not somthing i like to do but typical royal mail managers absolute w*****s!

[morleyposty]

make smaller bundles out of the large bundle and attach a paper to each one saying cut off/do shut.
simple

Also make sure it gets written in the office diary when you cut off again.

do you feel uncomfortable with the request ?
if so contact the IB monday and inform them of the instructions you recieved and who instructed you.

[newpostie]

yehto be honest it has ruined my whole weekened!! not stopped worrying bout it!

the manager sed he wud be there and hes not:s iv had 2 take mail home which i didnt want too! i hate it how the manager finks he can get away wif nt lettin me cut off like id go bak to the depot see no one was ther n finish off, when i had things to do!!

[bogstandard]

tell the IB all this then.
there is also an e-mail address for the security desk on this site somewhere.
if i find it i'll try to send a link, be sure to use it.

the integtrity of the mail has been compromised by poor decision making managers

Don't wait 'till Monday. Email them now. It'll prevent any risk of you being accused of choosing to take the Mail Home. Rather than being told to do so.

we have a garage up the road from the depo where we put the bikes if the place is closed we leave any mail in the bags in the garge marked up cut off. i would never take the mail home i would off call the manger up on his mobile at home and asked what to do.
