1 DOM
1 Line manager.

About 120 rounds and a minimum of 4 line managers in every day. Complete waste of money.

We don't even need half of them, maybe that's something i could mention to moya.
Same numbers in my office. They are about as useful as a chocolate teapot :cuppa

Same at ours as well as the main DOM. When a postie is day off they have to find a cover for that duty, when a manager is day off they dont cover them. Says it all that.

we have 30 walking duties, 20 driving duties. approx.

We Have 1 DOM

another person of management who in the 2 years of being there she has done nothing but piss folk off. No man management skills whatsoever.

An admin manager as well, who was possibly the worst postie before getting the job.

personally we really only need a DOM, iam sure we could manage ourselves if need be!

I reckon we probably have about 100 rounds. To cover them we have the DOM, and a minimum of four line managers. Sometimes we have had seven managers plus the DOM in on a day.
