Badly trained managers

Post by mark21 »

What are you experiences of Royal Mail managers.

Our stand in manager, has lost 5 specials so far this year, he is unable accesss the computer. He couldn't get an annual holiday sheet off the computer.

When he is out on delivery he is even worse. He covered my walk on my day off, the result was mail left on top of my frame and misdelivered three items.

He is well known for misdelivering mail within our office! (poor lad)

Stories please!!!!

I'll move this to Blue Shirts.

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.

Our old DUM had these fantastic magic sacks that when covered mail it disappeared until the next day.
We also had a woman stand in who really fancied herself and was always the big i am. (and believe me she was big)!! Anyway we always cut off the sorting at 5.45 irrespective of what was left. We knew the time was coming when they wanted to change that so we were ready. At 5.45 one morning she announced that anyone who came off the sorting would have their pay stopped. At that very moment she said that every single postman/woman walked off got their coats and walked out. She s**t herself and believe me we were not out for long.
There was one morning i was curling one in the lav i came out and everyone had walked out after she had upset them again that was sureal one minute radio going banter next complete silence and me the only postman in the building that soon changed.

Jesus i have so many i will not bore you but maybe i should write a bookon them :Very Happy

GET BACK TO THE OFFICE AND ON THE SORTING, ITS AFTER 10:30 AND YOUR BEING DONE FOR NOT BEING AT YOUR POINT OF DUTY..... AND GOING HOME IN BETWEEN DELIVERYS... IVE GOT YA." Bill then tells the stupid screws. "feck off you bastards im on my rest day and ive not been in to work today, now piss off." "I will see you tomorrow 0530 with my Union Rep... Now feck off." (being held back by his mrs)

The Next day we are all in work.. 0530 and Bill comes in Union Rep with him.. Storms in the offfice and rips into the DOM and screws... WE ALL WALK OUT... TA TA!!! :wave

Still waiting for my apology off LM after winning the B & H case against him. I know its not going to happen they are only interested when its postie against postie. Even the union rep that was on the case with me knows its not going to happen. Hes had enough and leaves 2morrow anyway. :sad:
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

Our current DUM lost a bag of registered letters when he was a postman, and the DUM we had at the time covered for him, so he's got a clear record. The last DUM gave up after a few weeks because he was absolutey crap at the job. The DUM before him had to be sent on a course after losing it with a postwoman over the telephone. He was moved here from his last office for bullying and continues to be a bully. Bloody big baby when things don't go his way. We've got an acting screw who is a known liar. Another one used to log onto the computer and change the overtime duties so as he and his mates could have easy walks when he knew he was nor screwing the following week. They had to change the password. He also showed his mates some confidential statements which people had made after a fight in our office. He also held onto overtime when people phoned in so as he could do the walk instead of getting a posie to do it. They're all still around, so Royal Mail must be satisfied with this standard.
