how many managers per office

Post by viking »

what is the criteria for how many managers there should be at each office. Is it per head of posties per office. We have three with just over 100 staff. The first manager writes on his clip board, the second reads whats been written and the third just looks on in complete amazement at the skills of the other two :shock:

we have about 45 staff with managers that range from 2-6 depending on if they can hide at other offices,its usually one watching us sort another pushing york containers about and another on the computer who on the odd occasion gets up to the snack machine to fill his fat gut and another always on the phone or taking conference calls and another two prepping walks for delivery,we are always late going out because only a few do the primary sorting because the others have to throw in part timers walks thus cut offs and overtime.

We're only talking about those who are paid to be managers and not those posties who think they are :hmmmm

God - you lot are so cruel to RM Managers.

It's RM new "green issue". RM employs them so that we don't have to increase "landfill".

I never know which bin I have to put my "Dog Poo" in. If you know, tell me, because that where the average RM Manager needs to go.

We have 1 DOM and one Lino to cover our office of 32 duties.

We also have a workplace coach / foreman type thing. But apart from putting out the D2D's and eating sandwiches nobody knows what he does.
