A postman who was working in the Registered Locker at my office moved on to Acting Manager 12 months ago and has not been back since. The job in the locker has not been advertised as he is trying to keep open the option of coming back if it doesn't work out. What is the position here and when should the job be advertised? There's a few after it but Management won't advertise it.

I can't give any opinion about the specifics that you face

However

I know that one DO currently has 27 vacancies that the DOM has been specifically instructed NOT to advertise.

I have spent 6 months covering a duty for a delivery person/manager dual role (manager when RM want / delivery when not required as manager)

from what I've seen management will not advertise vacancies unless absolutely necessary (and even then only if they have no choice)

union reps at both DO's don't seem to think that either situation is a problem or just don't care

If the guy is an Acting-Line Manager, then the duty still belongs to him and will be covered by reserves/ot until futher notice.

If the guy is made into a sustansive line manager (ie full time manager) then the job will become vacant and up for grabs.

Isn't it 3 months and then the job if vacant HAS to go on the board?
But then again,with what we're facing day in day out with exec act,they seem to do what they want!

bit off a problem with jobs at the moment as managing the surplus has to come first plus if you are stand in bossin your job is still yours unless you get a substansive position
