the ''TEFLON DOM''

[daveyeff]

those of you who have been reading my posts will know of the goings on in our office this last 5/6 weeks or so. how this bloke still in his present job or not been shifted is beyond belief. a man who has had SEVEN cases of wilful delay/and serious conduct against staff withdrawn because of lies, LIES, and videotape. a man who has had no less than FIVE grievance/b&h cases put in against him in ONE day,(yesterday). more will follow when the rest come back off the sick and their ''stress'' levels subsided. a man who will not heed the advice of his dsm and still try to re-instate conduct codes when specifically told not to. he said to the rep ''this is HIS office and the dsm should stay out of it''. he has definately lost the plot this bloke. he finally admitted yesterday that the duties cannot be done in their allocated time of 4hrs 45mins. so, does he cut the duties, put more hours in,,,,NO. he makes the duties 5hrs 15mins long.!!?? WHERE is the extra half hour coming from each day.? BEHOLD,, traffic figures pulled out of the late ali bongo's hat!!,,,he,s produced a ''model'' week from the middle of weeks 11-22(summer lapsing). apparently we are down 34 hours less than last years figures,,, so mail is down, and there are 44 duties. 44 half hours more = 22hrs. yeees we can go to 5.15 delivery. and still have extra time for indoor. does this simpleton not realise there is another 51 weeks left in the year. does he not realise you should not do a model week in the slackest time of the year. he,s making more plans because HE KNOWS he,s staying putt. why? cos he,s the ''TEFLON DOM'' nothing will stick to him. the ''john gotti'' of royal mail management. he,s nicknamed ''damien'' because we all know he,s the son of satan. more will follow in this dope opera. i,ll keep you posted lads

Can't you arrange an 'accident'?

[BettySwollocks]

Sounds like the gaffers in our office (yes...2 of them....both women)

are they being genetically engineered somewhere or what !!

[BoltonPostie]

LOL.
As if the Dsm is a `good guy.`
In most cases it is them who condone bullying and harassment and the Teflon DOM's all feel they can do what they want because "We are backed up by our high paid lawyers" and our mates in the CWU will always rein in any rogue Posties.

There are so many types of manager in Royal Mail:

- the bully. Possibly fighting repressed homosexuality, possibly still tearing at the world for losing their teenage sweetheart. Is usually a man but not always. Has no people skills. Has clandestine chats with favourites - usually other bullies. Responds to all difficult situations with anger. Cannot delegate. Cannot hold a conversation. Is a c*nt, but should not be mistaken for the c*nt.

- the monk. Wanders around the D.O. with a worried look. Spends half the time at the end of the IPS, looking like the apocalypse is nearing. Spends the other half of the time huddled up in the office, head in hands - crying, or praying? Either way they look particularly penitent. Is usually easy to deal with.

- the lad. Pretends to be a postie. Doesn't generally do any work, but often looks busy. Trades fake punches with the posties when they walk by, laughs outrageously. Doesn't wear a suit, shoes and tie, just some trousers and some trainers that look like real shoes. Is alright to talk to but useless when it comes to problem solving.

- the c*nt. Is like a 'lad'. Tries to have a laugh when things are going well. Is prone to the odd punch up. Is a complete tw@t when things are going badly. Likes to argue about everything and everything. "The sky is blue? Yesterday, you told me the sky was red. So why is the sky blue today? If the sky is blue, why can't you complete?"

- the prima donna. Sometimes came from a better job to be a Royal Mail manager. Sometimes got promoted to their zenith as an RM manager and now thinks they've got it all. Is arrogant. Calls everyone else a c*nt, especially other managers (but not within hearing). Struts around the office. Is either Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Does everything in a way they deem to be cool. Is good when the going's good, resorts to being 'the c*nt' when the going's bad.

- the substitute. Wanders into the office with a bleary look. Is blinded by the lights. Expects traps everywhere. Looks at the mail worriedly. Walks around with a hobble as if their shoes are too big, or too small. Is often seen throwing in a job. Gets bullied by the other managers. Has to do postie work on busy days. Spends separate moments of the day becoming either 'the lad' or 'the monk' without exclusively belonging to either category. Without exception, becomes 'the prima donna' when made permanent.

Managers in general are now jockeying for position for when the takeover takes place, in my region the Area Manager has been demoted not to mention the back biting in my office alone amongst Line Managers, all I hear now is that they are all to become Team Leaders soon.

Regarding the manager at the top of this thread then what a poor excuse of a power mad human being, life is so short and he is living a poor life at that.

It's a pity the DOM hasn't gone for what he's done at our office.

Very Amusing Taurus. Trouble is there does seem to be a lot of managers that fall into your categories! OK so sometimes there are few posties swinging the lead...but I do have to wonder where the Company manages to recruit so many of these assholes. I think maybe one problem is that they don't pay them enough, ( I can hear you screaming "What they pay them TOO much"!) but in reality what sort of quality Manager do you expect to get for those wages? You don't see anyone lining up on the Apprentice to be a Royal Mail Manager do you?

Perhaps the Workforce get the Management they deserve. Shouldn't we all stand up to these assholes, instead of just taking the, "I'm alright Jack"! attitude and keep your head down in-case you upset the DIM. Keep on putting in those disagreements for H&B and H&S and just WORK PROPERLY. If your Rep isn't doing his job...vote someone in that will. Surely the company has eventually got to deal with these idiots? If YOU can't be bothered to do anything and stick up for yourselves then why should you expect anyone else to do it? Good luck with your efforts.

RM policy now to use the model weeks ie (quietest 2 weeks of the year) for working out resourcing.
