volumes up today

Post by ulster postie »

We had a verry heavy day today, even when i got back to the office the mail waiting for tomorrow was way up, are they clearing the m.c., in preparation of the talks failing, looks that way to me. Anybody else have the same feelings.

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.

My DO same we have shed loads of MS3 Xmas catalogues. I had 8 bags at 16,16,10,10,10,10,10,8 Kilos. so 90kgs but weirdly got done on time as there ws not a lot of anything else. :shock: Image

Got back to office to get ready for union meeting a found 5 yorkies full of MS3 , 1 of 2nd class and another Yorky full of Saga.

I think Saga are trying to age us posties faster than normal so they sell us their stuff.
