Re: Saturday Special Delivery
When I first started I was out late on a Saturday had specials and packets at that tome used my car. I just took em home got told off Monday and when questioned their duty of care as they new I wasn't gonna be finished till after the office shut was told. Work quicker as we lock ip at x time. Duty of care therfore must cease there so surely we should just stop work and ensure we are back at office for closing time. Prob with that is my contracted hours are currently outside that time.
Life's only rosey if you make it that way...... There is life outside of Royal Mail you know!

Re: Saturday Special Delivery
You do not leave it in a pouch.
Take it to the nearest Post Office and get the TSO to stamp your card .Hand over the reg making sure your card has the bar code on it and the stamp is in the correct box.
Hold on theres a flaw in my advice only main POS are open late of a saturday are they not.
Ok to plan B ask your DOM for a number you can ring for returns.

Re: Saturday Special Delivery
basically you need to protect yourself
if you have an SD before the PO closes then go to the PO and get rid of it
if you cant get to a po then you need to raise this with a DOM before leaving
you want to protect yourself before leaving the DO

Re: Saturday Special Delivery
Again this is fine advice for an experienced postie but not for a newstart.They probably wouldn't say boo to a goose let alone start telling the DOM which Specials they are taking and which they will not.That would assume they know what time the PO shuts on Saturday,where it is in relation to the walk they are covering,where the Special is on the walk (start or finish) or even that the DO shuts earlier on Saturday.custard wrote:basically you need to protect yourself

Just seems easier to make the manager stay at the office until the last one is back.People taking Specials home for the weekend seems a really dodgy idea.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I am not a rep but me,some others at my place and the rep and sub rep would NEVER see a new starter f****d about or abused!

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: Saturday Special Delivery
Unless the new starters approach the rep with there problem how can they sort it out.
Reps havnt got a sixth sense that enables them to know whos getting messed about and whos not.

I know what you do ect but you are not the norm judging by what is going on in here.
It's very rare that the WPC is ever mentioned on here.

Has your local rep had a word with them because if new entrants see him/her doing these actions then they will see it as ok and before you know it they are just as bad if not worse

pointless,we have too many senior guys (WPC is a long serving postie) who dont get it
we have had pegasus and park & loop yet they still do the above to make it work.
makes it harder for the likes of me doing the job properly
its me that looks a s**t with streamed mail and packets around my frame
