My little rant. This job is s**t.

Post by mandelsons_toenail »

Eight years ive worked at Royal Mail as an OPG

Never have I seen it so bad

Guys running about to get the job done, constantly pushed to do more and more and more

Absorbtion, even when you dont have time- pushed on us

D2D now for free, 4-5 a week

Mail's down they say. My arse

Morale is at an all time low

The company is in the s**t

Too many managers and hanger ons.

Today, I delivered to a lady at 1010am. " Any reason why your getting later she said, have you changed the way you do your delivery" :shock:

I bit my lip but wanted to tell her to f**k off.

The end

:cuppa

I always say to such people "Would you rather be at the end of the delivery at 2.15/3.15 pm (insert expected time of finishing)? Usually shuts them up. Hope you feel cheerier soon and can enjoy the remains of the weekend.

There is no agreement to do 6 until Jan next year.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I just tell them that its RM's decision to make people wait later and later for their mail and also tell them it will get worse in the future

Some offices have gone beyond 5 already BELIAL.
At the moment they are holding firm and pushing the extra into the following week but it is taking intervention from above to hold management to the guidelines. :neutral:

Re 6 D2D's:Is this not the case of last weeks mixed in with this weeks,this has cropped up on here before.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

From day 1 Royal Mail busted the agreement, as they have busted every other agreement that has ever taken place.

I have heard rumours of one office getting 7? I thought the most we could get until they raise the cap in October was 4 at the moment. But what the hell the management have always done what they liked so no surprise really is it? :roll:
Union what Union? Do we have a union?
