1st day on new duty

Post by thewayforwardarse »

North east area, 1st day on the new park&loop. Cut of 2.10pm , travelled back with 2 loops left to do. Started before 10am never stopped, no large packets done, walked round-no trolleys used. Dont think it can be done in the time.

Why didn't you use trolleys?

Please don't give us the answer we think you're going to give.

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.

Health & safety was the reason you could use your bag, when the snow goes Health&safety is the reason you have use a trolly-Go Figure.

If you are forced to use bags instead of trolleys on a park&loop duty due to the weather conditions you should be using 8kg max weight bags.
If anyone is carrying 16kg bags in the snow they are idiotic.
At the end of the day the final say on Health and Safety....is yours.
