PDA MESSAGE
Did anyone else get a message on their PDA purporting to be from someone official. It said from memory - Because of what happened at NIMC all PDA users will now be tracked and the information stored.

Re: PDA MESSAGE
Think it "arrives" only when you log on with your own username, ie someone that does not log on until the 31st December for example would only get the message thenbeanmuncha wrote:Got same message but it was sent 14.10 on sat arr 8.35 today???
I have sent messages to individual users about local work issues from our PC in the locker, but if you press send to the wrong group it will end up with everyone in the country getting it!!!!!!

Re: PDA MESSAGE
One of our chaps got a message today on the lines of "Due to the downturn in mail volumes could you let us know the unused hours you have accumulated this week" .
Unfortunately he deleted the message and did not see where it came from.

Re: PDA MESSAGE
NIMC is the Northern Ireland Mail Centre and there was an incident there on Friday night which caused mail not being processed through for delivery on Saturday, which made the Saturday a light day, We all got the message from 'Jack' about this and to remember to book our 'undertime'

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.

Re: PDA MESSAGE
I can't understand why this message has been sent nationwide, 'Jack' needs to learn how to use the messaging facility on the PDAs.

Re: PDA MESSAGE
That's right, we were told there was a bomb scare in Mallusk, which is why the mail was light on Saturday. Were also told we were going to be very busy Monday as a consequence. Monday just seemed to be a normal day so don't know where all this mail went to!
Funny we got the message on Monday morning instead of Saturday, which would have been more appropriate!
