Have you given up watching the football then?

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.

When we get to 6,possibly next year.
The difficulty with that is if you invest in machinery and hours to automate collation of D2D you really need at least 6....for every area....every week.....likely?
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Anyone else hear the advert on the radio for Royal Mail? Something along the lines of, "The Best way to contact your customers... Contact Royal Mail to enquire about a FREE mail shot to your targeted customers."

I presume now we're all working for Bugger All (and I'm working Pro-rata of Bugger All! :mad ) Royal Mail mail is going to start doing FREE Introductory offers. I was quite happy to deliver 6 D2Ds if they were going to pay me.

4 lots today........A4 magazine, A5 Insurance magazine, plus the usual Pizza and Supermarket.

The weight was crippling, I feel well and truly shafted, Did I think RM would be kind and limit the size and weight, well yes for a couple of months, but no slam us with this on the first week. I seriously don't think I will be able to cope with the Christmas pressure if we keep getting 4 lots of heavy Christmas/sale promo stuff :sad:

Was on 3 almost every week while getting paid for them. Now it's been 3-3-4-2-4.
Cannot be ars*d with them anymore. It was bad enough delivering the sh*t before when I got
paid for them but worse now. It doesnt help that other rounds in my office are different with
some rounds only getting 1 :crazy:
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
