New Starters .

Post by somerset »

Have noticed for a while now that all the new recruits in our area, are either under 25 or female. Okay i can understand that.But i am angry at the fact that Doms constantly pick on them to do extra work . The new starters are on rolling 3 months contracts, but are to afraid to say NO ! In case they lose there job.

Don't take this the wrong way but what are you and your guys doing about it?

Also name and shame justsayit@royalmail.com

Get a hotmail addy,you don't have to id yourself either.But you'll have to name the office ect.

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.

Does that justsayit address actually have any pull? Or do they just delete any emails that contain a complaint in them? I've wanted to use it for a while now but I can't see it even being read :hmmmm

Exactly my point. If they turn round and say no to Dom. It,s BYE BYE then . I am an oldie postie and i have seen some good youngsters who are willing to learn the job but get p*****d about by management.

You can use the justsayit thing but you will have to name the office,give it a go and see what happens,they do look at all the emails sent.
I get replies like the below,they will fob you off if you don't name the office where the problem is.
They do not send out,''Ohhh that's naughty and your screw sounds like a right cock and that shouldn't be happening'' type replies.
Thank you for your enquiry about (insert woteva). Please can you clarify which office you are based in, so I can look into the concerns you raise.
Bout time some grassing went on. :cuppa

It depends on why you were "forced" to resign. To be honest although you can probably apply again it would have an adverse impact on your recruitment anyway, as the records are kept centrally so the reason for your resignation would be known.

As only you know the reasons behind you resigning only you can judge how severe the mistakes were. But for minor mistakes you would have to have a very strong case showing you had learned from those mistakes and that they were unlikely to be repeated again.

If however, it was a delay of mail type mistake - then sorry in my estimation you would have no chance, or a very very very slim chance of being set on again, even in another office.
