managerial bullying

Post by stupidboy »

hello. have just been told today that a colleague has walked out after being challenged by the dom over his workrate. the dom was using unagreed rates and had the previous week used other unagreed methods to again determine that the individuals work rate was too slow.
he has been told constantly by the union rep that these work rates are unagreed but he just ignores this fact. any advice on what can be done both for the individual concerned and alsp to try and prevent it happening to others.
thanks in advance for any help

Some offices have walked out this, suggest the CWU registering a disagreement and at the same time work to rule, don't cover overtime, most especially don't cover the (walked out) Postman's walk if possible, 'don't do your days off, don't do anything to help them to cover up their mistakes ever, make them do some work for a change, let them sweat about coming into work for a change, for this to work the whole office have to stick to together and be reminded of the consequences of failure, you will have to play hard ball with this one.

Totally right that the Office will have to stick together over this NW but will they? There seems to be a very big problem over any sort of "Team Play" in this business nowadays! More likely that the Brown Nosers will look on this as an opportunity to grab some more overtime! :no no

There does seem to be a Nationwide push from Managers to question the work rates of our colleagues..perhaps it's their latest tactic? :hmmmm

Why did he walk out on his own,where was the office,where was the rep,if it's been going on for a while where is the area rep.

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.

It seems to be mostly because these offices have a failing revision and the higher ups dont understand it and, scratching their heads announce it MUST be posties working too slowly. :roll:

as this thread is under managerial bullying ill continue it

at my office, the line manages are ok, all being long serving ex-psstie
the dom, being an outside hatchet man has learned his lesson so far, three diagreements so far and all upheld

now, our office has the plannes in at the moment and are on a totally different planet but i can deal with that so,

MY QUESTION IS ON THOSE WHO HAVE HAD A REVISION

do royal mail move in hard nose managers (transfer the old ones to other offices) during the revision process to try and rail road (bully) the revison through
