Leaving your wing man?

Post by beanmuncha »

Hi all
today a casual and a RM postie shared a van, the casual cut corners, left trolley unattended, rushed and was finished well before the Postie, who was doing the job properly
The casual then walked back to the office leaving the other to finish!!
Don't ask me how they didn't meet up after loops i don't know
but the postie wants to know what's the rules on this besides the don't leave your 'mate' to finish off.
My thoughts are you both stay out till the duties are done it's called van sharing for a reason.
need help before i see DOM.

It sounds as though you need to swop loops and see who finishes first, it could be one of you is slower/faster than the other :whistle
NO bags on shoulders please except for Moya who keeps her big fat wage packet in hers

How is that then,many of our colleagues finish before their time.

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.

You have answered your own question...

He cut corners and rushed. You dont state how long the postie took to finish. 10 minutes? 60 minutes?

You state that the casual returned to the office. Other than leaving his loop partner to complete and assuming he/she delivered everything they were required to, I cant see how you are going to drag up any more s**t on him/her.
