DOM Assit Job

Post by Dennisthepostie »

Hello, a fella in our office has been DOM Assit for a couple of years now, the job was never advertised. He basically got it because he was a s**t postman.
Is this right he can just get it like that? He reckon he did get interviewed, but 100% the job wasn't advertised.

Perhaps he just had a large tub of vaseline handy?

just so you know Dom Assist positions are now advertised on the intranet

they do not put a notice up in the office now it is all done online

so it is entirely possible it was advertised and if you didn't look online you would not have seen it

this may not be the case in this situation but just so people are aware

Actually the turd who does our DOM assist job is a large tub of lard.
He is the spit of the Comic book guy off the Simpsons and he only got it because he's `large boned`and could no longer do a Postman's job...still nice to see Royal Mail can accommodate somebody when it suits. :roll:

the union rep is worse than a DOM making you work to your time and making walks massive in the revision

How can a union rep argue against you working to your time?
What is wrong with working to your time?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Making you work the hours your paid for indeed.......

And there in that sentence is the problem union reps have, trying to explain to the slackers and runners and cheaters that its actually fair for the business to ask you to give something in return for every penny they pay you...

This company never fail in winding up the workforce!

I thought Royal Mail ran on seniority? fair opportunities within the workplace??

It's a constant war attempting to work within any agreement/rules/regs when facing spineless superiors, who consistently choose to rework what's etched in black n white to fit whatever see's fit.....
