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.

its getting so bad in our office with bullying from DOM's since P/L started.
It was never like it before , you can see the stress on their faces.
Some of the things they come out with are statements from desparate men.
Bullying part timers to come in early to get their rounds readybefore their start time
How they expect you to be out the door by 9am when you have only come off the inward sorting at 8am is laughable, the DOM's dont mention meal relief anymore or van checks or weighing bags or people doing docket before finishing time

Park n Loop not working at my office

Post by Caniel »

Park n Fail has finally arrived and it's an utter mess. Guys doing it on the walks that have changed to P&L are cutting off or claiming everyday since it started, DOM reckons they are just slow and need to walk faster lol. One pair have had their big packets taken off them because (which defeats the object of P&L doesn't it? :hmmmm )......wait for it you'll love this....they couldn't fit all the pouches, packet, tracked items and Specials in the little van :left:

roll on bringing it in for the rest of us :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana
