Post by scooby »

well we got all the kit vans ets they look rather nice blocking up the car park and yard all ready to go taxed ets
shame we are no where near ready lol
planners been here over a year think we on our 4th or 5th one now they change things every time.
we did have one say he will have to put walks in never seen him since :crazy:
then we picked walks and now they say 70 more hours have to come out its just crazy like a carry on film.

Sounds wrong to me.

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.

On our next revision full time park and loopers will be paired with part timers . The plan is for the full timer to throw out the walk sequenced mail for both frames .

In our next revision, full and part timers are being replaced by monkeys, computers and community service workers.

That should take him about 20 mins! (For the second duty) :shock: What's he doing with the rest of the time ?
We've got one NOB, whose got some deal with the DIM, who comes in early and throws off ALL the sequenced mail for ALL the Delivery only PT duties! :mad He thinks he's some kind of Superman, but there's all the manual mail, flats and packets left to do! :arrrghhh
Lovely to work with such helpful people! :whistle
