Fightback continues

Post by SexyLegs »

Our DOM has been gobbing off for days about people cutting off, if you work over and claim you are a hero, if you cut off you're a piece of s**t...............

Well, 2 grievances have gone in today about our DOM, apparently one of which was witnesses by the area CWU Rep calling an employee a Useless C***, now I may be mistaken but he shouldn't be saying that should he?

I'm assuming he will be in tepid water to say the least?

Thoughts???

Why isn,t the DOM laid flat out on his back. He would be if he worked in our office. No one would stand for that.

I wish I worked in an office that had a bit more backbone. don't get me wrong, there a decent set of guys but will they cut off or refuse to do extra.....will they shite......I was the only one out of say 40 guys to refuse to take my share of a split the other day. what is wrong with people.....?

Fear, instilled by consecutive governments, and the race for cash to be able to bring some crumb of luxury benefit into what for some is a very meagre living. General manual pay in my part of the country is very poor and Royal Mail wages are probably the best you are going to get for manual labour. However that does not make it a good wage as a basic 40 hour week is not a living wage for an average size family. Without Tax Credits and working extra hours some would not be able to cover their outgoings, so there is no chance of getting them to work to rule.

DOM 'should' be in the s**t but he won't be,you know how it works.
Now if one of us was to call him..........................well you know what would happen there.

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.

The problem is....most ADR's owe favours to DOM's.
Usually because they've been in trying to save some idiots job at some point.
This is usually where the favour gets pulled back. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

That's a hell of a statement.
Couldn't imagine my lot sucking up.

It's not a case of sucking up and i would imagine in this case where multiple grievances have gone in it will get kicked up higher anyway but you have to be a realist PM.
ADR's have to do some dirty work sometimes to keep guys in a job and sometimes it means putting them high horse principles away for the time being....i don't think there is an ADR in the country who hasn't been compromised by a member and had to give a bit more back than they would have liked....that's the way the world works i'm afraid....your place as well. :wink:
