save money - make doms part-time

Post by 5plusbonusball »

As soon as the mail is in and prepped all the the managers slope off to the office to play on the pc's . In my office there are about 6 postcode sectors , each with it's own dom.
A manager of the whole office, his undermanager, 4 in the rle, 2 more doing god knows what and 4 in the callers office.
What do they all do when we're killing ourselves on the streets? They could be out delivering , as that's the main part of the business, surely it would be better to send most of them home at 10am and only pay them 4 hours a day . :mad
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

There's too many managers in delivery offices.
There's usually 3, sometimes 4, in my DO. A complete waste of money when you consider the complete lack of productivity from these Herberts.

So are we all agreed then that this is where they should make the savings? I mean if they are still there when we get back (and it is very rarely) theyre not interested how the day went outside, they just ignore you and go home, totally no support during the mornings either. "MANAGERS OUT OUT OUT " come on all you lurkers back me up.

better yet just pay them for what they REALLY do and the business could save a fortune.
unfortunately royal fail need the managers to shaft the poor posties so FOR THE MOMENT they are almost bullet proof.

Whichever office Moya is visiting next perhaps someone can ask the question regarding part time LM's/DOM's. Lets face it the idiots would'nt be qualified to manage elsewhere, infact I can't think of anywhere that would take that lot on in a supervisor role.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

You may not believe this sp, but when I questioned the managerial skills of LMs, one muppet said they were ripe for head hunting :shock:

Hunting Line Managers.... :hmmmm
Sounds like a laugh.
How much of a head start do we have to give them and can we use dogs or just rifles? :neutral:

Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.
