To the early starters and the own car users

Post by proper postie »

You do realize that you are the reason the job leans toward part time,the lack of boxes,the lack of drivers.Running about like a f***ing idiot has f****d us all.If you want to finish early,get another job.They've looked at job and finish and seen how quick it can be done in if you rush like an idiot.

You do realize that right?

Still have a few in our office that run around job and finish style, they would give the DOM a blowjob if it meant going home 10mins early :crazy:

this agreement prevents the use of private cars on duty . . . . . maybe one of the few positives to come out of it

telling these people that come in early , run round and use their cars is like banging your head agaisnt a brick wall, they all try to justify it with an excuse like ive got to pick my kid up from school even though schools dont finish till gone 3 and we finish at 2:15. Royal mail want rid of people to cut costs and the easiest people to sack are the people using cars, ive seen it happen so keep driving and you can pick your kids up at whatever time you like cos you wont have a job.

Saw one of our boy racers the other day doing a paper round an hour before his official finishing time and two hours before I finished. He probably had to rush to fit in his third job of the day later.

Does anyone actually think that banning cars on delivery will stop them being used?

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.

It works both ways. People are quick to blame the runners, when the job is just as full of people who think they have the right to work at whatever speed they want to.

People treating the job like a Sunday stroll is the reason that RM have this new agreement stuffed full of agreed work standards.

There are people in my office that i wouldn't be able to walk down the street with.
Everyone walks at a different pace.I am faster than others and others are faster than me.
