Re: left a packet in van
I left a packet & a tracked in the van yesterday
don't know how I missed them, I remembered to take the D/L specials out. I guess I had other things on my mind, like what jobs have they got me doing next and the packets slipped my mind.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Re: left a packet in van
Just reading through some old posts while watching the footy and had to comment on this. Leaving the van in the yard with all your packets (including specials) is an accepted method of working in our office. All the office is aware of this and it is never a disciplinary offence.Jimmy Carr`s laugh wrote:Bloke at our place got back to work at 2:30pm - office locked up but gates open. Had f/l packets in his van and had to get kid at school at 3pm - and was off duty at 2pm. So left van in yard with the packets inside, all locked up and went home. Morning after, suspended. week later sacked. They said there was a manager inside and all he had to do was ring the doorbell - there`s never a manager there after about 1030am FFS.

Same here but only if/because the office has been locked early or the vans are extra late.lufcpostie wrote:

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.

Yes,that`s what I meant but thats always the case. Manager goes home probably half twelve at the latest, drivers return 2-2.30, office locked up driver locks van up and goes home.

Re: left a packet in van
My advice to anyone would be, don't go into any confrontation until you're prepared for it by being in control of yourself, don't panic and make sure you have the story straight - that is, consider the options as to what they can and cannot prove and tailor your story to that. Never be defensive and make sure they know you are not going to lie down for any crap - if they think they've got a fight on their hands they will take a more lenient approach.
Not that I have ever been in trouble.

Best to work at an SPDO where you will most likely have the keys so you can lock up after yourself if the last one back on a Saturday afternoon before going home for what's left of the weekend.
