Something to cheer you up

Post by POSTMAN »

Down in the smoke,amid the backlog(you know the one that isn't really there),managers are near breaking point and are now argueing with each other,one DSM has been described as 'a broken man'.
Some offices are just sorting,some are not taking any more work in,and some are,well,just taking what they can.

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.

Come in and take out what you fancy at mine generally. Apparently though tommorrow is "packet day" as RM have been absolutley battered with compo claims for late delivery. All this agro that nobody needs :crazy: If only somebody would come in with a bit of understanding that get the service right, keep the workforce on board, and the holy grail (profit) will surely follow.

goes to show how much of Royal Mail is run on (our) goodwill, without which it could not run at all.

Our MC is crammed with work, despite loads being sent to the Dartford scab office,
HWDC, Jubilee Mail Centre and other places.
Our managers are now getting totally fed up. Shame they don't have the backbone to
tell those at the top that their plans aren't working.

Funny you should say that, one Postman is having his pending (approved signed everything) VR "reviewed" in the light of doing the job properly chaos.
