Thought nights were taken out?

Surely if these revisions are not
Saving the hours, then why can't
They see they simply do not work!!

We're pre-revision and we're failing mail every day.

Not enough prep men, not enough on IPS. Heavy days = part-timers coming in to frames that aren't fully prepped, which is a poor tale when two-thirds of it comes sequenced. IPS boys and girls are on later and later, it's a good job mail's down or we'd be really stuffed.

Biggest problem we've currently got is that last year we were coming in to about 7 or 8 trays of flats. This year we're lucky if we have 2.
The difference is all coming through for manual sorting. Once again thanks JMC

Bit of failure during the summer. Now volumes have started picking up, cut offs are building up and being left undelivered for days. Complete rounds are going unprepped and undelivered when anybody is off. Last week they had a bunch of casuals out on a sunday delivering...

These are just teething problems according to our DIM, our revision started in March? How long can these things be considered "teething problems"? :arrrghhh

Chaos reigns supreme!!! :nana
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

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.

NWDO on that list park & loop started last november & STILL failing ten months later !! area manager & dim blame us and say were lazy & with all their bullying and harassment the majority of the staff work to time :nana even in the supposed quiet period staff have left in loops galore & had managers in from other offices delivering & large packets build up day by day :crazy: with xmas coming i feel sorry for the customers with less staff than last year & definitely less goodwill from us posties (mainly due to b & h and either cutting or refusing to pay our overtime) its going to be a total and utter shambles !!
