Managers are hopeless in my experience. During my 14 years my unit has certainly had no less than 10 DOM's, and we are a 10 duty rural spdo. Most of our managers have little or no experience as posties, and yet are in charge of say half a dozen offices of some of the most all round and experienced guys and girls going. They have now introduced "team leaders" to our office who for a couple of extra quid a week do the day to day work of the DOM. Needless to say work time learning although a farce in itself is non existent in my unit.
I find it incredibly annoying when we are told to adopt new ways of working by these people, not because we are dinosaurs stuck in our ways but we know what will and won't work.... on most occasions it WON'T! i personally would applaud systems to make the job more efficient but like many others i feel it is change for the sake of change... and more cynically to give someone who gets paid a lot more than me (not earns), something to do.
