Speechless!
Couldn't believe my ears this morning. Another postie on my section took me to task for NOT doing my absorbtion (lapsing). He said I was taking the p*ss and needed to speed up! I regularly don't do my absorbtion on heavier days. I don't come in early, and I don't rush around. I do the job correctly. Simples

Funny as feck,who does yours then when you can't do it?

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.

Re: Speechless!
To me this is where Reps should start looking at the IWT thing, find out what traffic should be for your mean week, and then you have something to compare it to. This is what the new deal allows you to do, use the info thats there and play him at his own game, if he thinks it's light, but the figures don't show it, then you don't lapse, if it looks as though when you do lapse, again you look at the figures and say we need to adjust when lapsing can be done.iamnotadoormat wrote:i agree..... because of these idiot rushing round and coming in early etc........our dom informed us this morning, that because of this we will be lapsing an additional 2 duties on tuesdays and any other day they think its "light"When will these idiots learn that the more they rush around, the more work they will do.

Don't just take a DOMs word for it, a Rep is now entitled to see all the figures etc, so use the agreement for your advantage.

I do know, however, what reaction a moron like that will get, if I ever do.

Re: Speechless!
Are your jobs really THAT big that you can't do the lapsing or is it a case of not doing it out of principle?
I know I'll be chastised for using my car but I did my delivery and lapsing today and was finished for 12. It helps that because we do the lapsing, they let us out as early as possible.
I admire people for taking a stance when they're being put on, but sometimes I think some people just like to cut their own noses off to spite their face.

Re: Speechless!
More like your duty is too small, light summer period and it still took me 5 1/2 hours to deliver today (and before you go off saying that I'm too slow, nobody on the duty can do it either) and this is the same for a majority of duties in my office - the result of a botched Pegasus revision.Mr Blonde wrote:Are your jobs really THAT big that you can't do the lapsing or is it a case of not doing it out of principle?

Re: Speechless!
Reading other peoples posts on here sometimes I do wonder about the size of my delivery. On a normal day it takes me just under 3hrs 30mins which is par isn't it?

Re: Speechless!
2 postmen standing on the street, chatting after finishing their walks, when 1 notices a slug crawling by. In a rage he stamps on the poor creature.
'That was cruel,' says the other postie 'why'd you do that?'
first postman replies 'That son of a bitch has been following me all day.'

Re: Speechless!
Van share should not be covering walks but be specifically designed to be van share duties (4hr15min) at least that's my understanding of it (not 2 duties bolted together) and my office has 'rurals' that are 1 person in 1 van taking a minimum of 5 hours to deliver a duty.wf wrote:Just out of interest,how many walks would youre van share be covering?DGP1 wrote:More like your duty is too small, light summer period and it still took me 5 1/2 hours to deliver today (and before you go off saying that I'm too slow, nobody on the duty can do it either) and this is the same for a majority of duties in my office - the result of a botched Pegasus revision.Mr Blonde wrote:Are your jobs really THAT big that you can't do the lapsing or is it a case of not doing it out of principle?
