And in reality, there's a distinct scent of paper-a-burning, streaming steadily from the DOM's office, down past the IPS frames, where the smoke lingers for a moment in some of the slots and rustles the last lonely letters ever so slightly in passing. Onward it goes, drifting hither and thither in a slight breeze (caused by the smug and righteous air that is also emanating, quite mysteriously, from the DOM's office) so that it is shaken towards the fitting of the last, lonely postman, who mops the sweat from his brow as he fights relentlessly to prep a sixth of his SIX door-to-doors into an already bulging fitting. He fights and he fights against the SAGA mags, the National Trust mags, the Sky mags - "why oh why do they always appear on the busiest Friday?" he cries - but he knows he's getting weaker. It would be easier . . . to give up. To let go. To wander into the sunset without ever saying goodbye. It would be easier to punch the DOM's face when he looks blankly towards you when you mention the words "door-to-door" and "traffic figures" and "additional prep time" in the same sentence.

Alas, it is all too much. It is all too much.

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.

BT2010 wrote:In the interim to ensure that D2D workload is covered effectively in line with this agreement, and in advance of units realigning duties through full revision activity to take account of D2D, resourcing of hours associated with the workload linked to D2D will be dealt with through locally agreed interim arrangements and reviewed through the weekly resourcing meetings in all delivery units. To aid the transition, offices that have not deployed delivery methods revisions will have to provide genuine and demonstrable solutions to any weight or volumetric issues.

Can somebody please tell me,what the hell happened to the d2d crap in one envelope and addressed promise that we had.
Where is the union here,as usual it looks like the union is stabbing us in the backs again.
How quick the rm and the cwu were to rip us off and force us to deliver still yet more leaflets whilst making our jobs harder.

There never was a promise.
It was mentioned - if financially viable.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It was a sweetener to get people to sign up for it. I don't think they ever had any intention of introducing it. :cry

can I deny it.

the 2010 section in D2D says
The CWU will be involved in quarterly review meetings, which will provide an opportunity for the CWU and Royal Mail to review operational challenges, product developments, and work together to identify new products and further growth opportunities, including the potential for automation which will be driven by commercial viability linked to volume.


No set trigger and no guarantee it ever will be automated :sad: :sad:
