Which brings us back to that age old question "what constitutes a failing office". I think ft indicated the salient points of what could be classed as a failure but by the same token what constitutes an office that isn't failing? Are all the principles of BT 2010 being observed within the delivery methods model and if not, even though the office is coping, is that a working office?

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.

So you cannot force the situation.

Stafford's revision has gone tits up. :d'oh! The first 2 phases (rurals) went in and there's whole walks being bought back, it was so b ad our Rep said enough's enough and he stuck a disagreement in and said that we were not doing anything else until that's been sorted. So now the town walks are on hold, good news is that we had the £600 up front thanks to a local agreement done by him and the Area Rep. :nana

Just out of Interest,How many offices are there in the Uk?Out of that how many offices are actually working? By working i dont mean on paper but actually clearing all mail,packets,specials and tracked items ,at absolutley no extra cost.By extra cost i mean not on paper but by what is claimed over and above the wage bill for the working week.By the working week I mean the actual duty time,not "back filling",not extended,or by managerial intervention!If their are any offices that can boast all of these functions are performed by the same amount of staff pre-revision,and no extra payments i.e.completed as pre-revision then let us know.If however none of the said can be said to be done then why do we all persist in this nonesense.

Because the union are backing BT2010 to the hilt, good, bad or indifferent results don't seem to matter. Mind you if you embrace the idea to go as far as to perusade the membership to accept it by banging the drum on the roadshow it must be pretty difficult to say "you lads were right and although we are paid to negotiate for you, on this occasion, oh and the last couple of times we didn't exactly nail it............sorry"

Our office is failing terribly,even though we are working our asses off to try to complete on time,many off us just have to cut off.
Our regional :evil/mad manager gave a speech on Friday that from Tuesday we will not be permitted to cut off,but instead would have to negotiate some of our parcels or packets taken off if we cant complete, otherwise he would make our start and delivery times start later that would especially effect those who have child care issues

And yet the union and RM insist they are going to make it work but I wonder if it is truly working anywhere according to BT 2010, weight off shoulders, trolleys, no cars, no job and finish - it makes you wonder that when over 100 offices have reported on here that they are failing, what the true figure is and why it isn't being flagged up the chain and if it is why is it not being taken seriously.

You have hit the nail on the head DVB managers in most offices including mine appear to be encouraging non use of delivery methods in my office the old chestnut of job and finish has reared it's ugly head but only for the corner cutters :arrrghhh
