Staff struggled to complete their rounds on time under the new arrangement of sending out teams of staff to deliver letters and parcels from vans.

Mail was sent out to other depots for sorting and return to Dundee East for despatch by enlarged teams of staff drafted in from far afield.

The emergency action cleared most of the first backlog, only for the bad weather to arrive and cause it to grow again.

Some of the Royal Mail's senior Scottish officials visited to see the problems—and even help on deliveries—and they promised to pull out all the stops to make it up to their Dundee East customers in time for Christmas.

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.

Agency staff throwing in walks = guaranteed missorts + lots of them - the jobs fcuked . At least the public now know The TRUTH & the rank + file aint getting it in the neck.

Make no mistake, at this rate Christmas cards will still be getting delivered late January :oops:

All that has to be done is for RM to admit they cocked up in the revision for a resolution :no no

This is happening everywhere, we really need to get more papers involved. They need to know that it is not the posties fault!

...and dunfermline d.o is in the same tripe.

Team brief this morn, and some of us are not pulling our weight, some of us are taking to many coffee breaks, some of us are coming in late, this is what we got told from a dom from another office.

Well if these people are doing things that there not supposed to be doing then pull them up about it. The dom also mentioned that the deliverys seem doable and sees no reason why anybody can't finish there duty on time as other posties from other depots have said the dutys are fine...what a load of bull.

There are slackers in every office i just wish the dom would address those people that are falling behind the wayside :confused
