Is this the way to clear the backlog

Post by disheartened »

Admin i was unsure where to post this,move it if you wish,just dont delete it as it took me an age to type.

Hi,

I am C & N driver at a large mail center with a large delivery office attached,its a 5.15 start for me,omv check first,then load it and set off to my first delivery office at 6am with their mail.Sunday night once again see a coach load of casuals working and all the work was done really early,so nothing for me to take as the night driver cleared the work,i did a short run elsewhere and got back at about 7am,the next runs i do are all for york clearences at various offices and returning them to the mail center.

Well much to the traffic managers disgrace i was snatched by deliveries to “helpâ€

RM would rather pay casuals and agency people than post people just to be bloody minded
and not seem to be backing down to posties.
yes a waste of resources but they don't care it all a stupid game mate.
You know them, we have both done twenty odd years, we have seen it all.

Hence why you must restrict earnings opportunities to a minimum"

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.
