The Communication game

Post by ziko »

Have you ever been asked by your Manager after you'd arrived at work to go to another delivery office to do a delivery there. Wait for it, but, your delivery office has drafted in delivery staff from other offices because your office is short?
I am somewhat confused at RMs policy :confused :crazy:

Not yet no. :shock:

Laughable in a perverse way isn't it?

Oh, and you think Royal Mail has a policy? They ain't that smart.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Not to me personally but I have certainly seen it happen. We had a chain of 3 DOs all swapping 1 or 2 posties IIRC

1. DO A sent 1 postie to us at DO B
2. DO C sent 2 posties to DO A.
3. We sent 1 each to DO A & C

You don't think it is some sort of transference from the week-end parties they attend? :oops: :shock:
