Re: failing specials
What is your rep doing about it,he should be demanding you break off and finish them all.
This and packets being left should be flagged up to your 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.

Re: failing specials
We were told if you get there after 1pm, don't use the PDA use a Card and just ask the person to sign and print and not mention putting the time in, needless to say we asked them to put the time down and inform sender that they can claim the money back.

Not allowed to use cards if you have a PDA.............so I would always use the PDA and let them sufferwestlondonpostie wrote:We were told if you get there after 1pm, don't use the PDA use a Card and just ask the person to sign and print and not mention putting the time in, needless to say we asked them to put the time down and inform sender that they can claim the money back.

I can only imagine how these managers explain away the failing Special Deliveries because they will show up as failures and someone is going to want to know why.

Re: failing specials
I mentioned this a while ago, I believe RM don't get fined for normal packets when they delay them, But I think thats still will full delay IMHOthefridge wrote:We are being told by doms if we can't deliver special delivery by 1pm to fail them ie after 1pm, is this the norm in other offices?

Its not right to fail specials after 1pm, bet your office bosses won't put that in writing
