Managers in Peterborough took people off pay for cutting off. The claimed the workers were in breach of their contract as they didnt do the job correctly.

I dare say we will all be faced with this soon.

Remember, the Delivery Office Manager in the unit where you work is NOT royal Mail. Treat him like a person as when you look at them, as they are explaining a situation to you, as someone whom you are imagining an axe is going through there head, then smile, nod and find things out, not just from one source but from various ones as sometimes that one source can not always be right. good luck my friend :wave

My manager mentioned to me that he had to explain the recent rise in sickness levels and trips and falls for delivery Posties.

FFS HQ look out the bleeding window, read the papers, or watch the TV when there is a big weather story it will give you a clue as to why its happening. :crazy:

I guess its yet another Imageexercise from Royal Mail :crazy: :crazy:

We had a WTL session today about AODs.
We all got a piece of paper and we were to write down how we can improve the office reaction to severe weather. :roll:

Why do they think that we should do their jobs for them, they get told what's wrong and they just ignore it of it's going to cost money :mad so they can manage on their own.
