TIME FOR A RANT!!

Post by whitetrash »

I go into work ON TIME!

I never do overtime, I don't want it as I have a complicated home life and pick my young uns up,

I refuse to be forced into it!

EVERY fecking time I tell a manager I'm dropping it's like dropping the bombshell for the first time!

EVERYBODY else who is to shat scared to approach the manager turns on me calling me a lazy tw@ who can't complete

Even the guys who damn near bullied other people for coming in through the strikes are starting to turn on me for wanting to come in and finish on time!!

I don't give two sh***s about what people think of me, I have just been moved onto another section, the guys on my old section were behind me and I even used to inspire them to drop but this new section is MILITANT about dropping.

I just don't get it, one minute they all want to strike and shove two fingers in the face of RM, The next they want me to roll over and be a compliant little lap dog to the managers.

I can't win, I friggin hate going in to work on weds thurs and fri's as I know I'm going to be rowing with somebody.
my new round is huge and a good 25 mins bike from the office, it's notorious and the person on it before me used to come in an hour early, use her own car and work over. Something I'm just never gonna do but all I get is "soenso managed it fine"

Worst of all, a guy who has worked for RM 20 plus years works next to me and his frame is a P1ss take, I told him he should have some of mine on his and he went running to the manager crying that if that ever happened he'd drop every day like me lol

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
I'M ON A SECTION WITH IDIOTS WORKING FOR A COMPANY RUN BY FECKING IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

rant over
Thanks for listening

Stick to your guns. I won't do o/t or come in early either, and to be honest, my job is quite easy because of it.

Whitetrash.
Your rant echoes what most of us posties feel daily.
A few days ago , one of our runners was moaning about how unfair it was that people who do their jobs properly get bits taken off their walks.
and the runners have to put up with the crap ones. :roll:
I honestly thought he was trying to wind me up, so i agreed with him,and then he said as a union rep i should know better than to encourage people
to in his words ,take the piss out of the job. I stood there in silence,shaking my head,and he said there you go nothing to say because you know i'm right.
To be honest with numbnuts like this spouting utter bo..ox on a regular basis,we are on a hidding to nothing.
It's easier for these idiots to blame others , than to look at themselves and what their selfishness is doing to this job.
We are all ready to blame the incompetance of managers,and believe me i am their fiercest critic, but some of our collegues are ruining the job for us all.
Keep your head up, and know for sure that you can look yourself in the mirror,and know you have done the right thing the right way. :Applause

i get exactly the same they are tossers,no wonder the company is in this state,they fly around and it makes others look idiots,no cars, no running,deliver from the rear of the vehicle with no mail in front like royal mail want and wear the seat belt provided because the window does not cushion your face in a accident.

That's right, RM would leave us all alone and never look to make cuts.

Back in the real world, RM and any other business will always try and save money. That's what Crozier, Higson et al are paid a fortune for. There are posties working fast and ones working slow. As long as you're working at an acceptable pace then there's nothing RM can do. Just don't slow time or drag your feet to prove a point as you'll end up suspended or charged with WD.

Good luck and dont bow to pressure. :Applause

This should be the real world onaflyer.
Where people do the job properly it will always make it harder for RM to cut hours and increase workload.
Of course in offices like yours where members finish well before their time,the original post must be difficult to comprehend. :cuppa
