what a joke...

Post by BingBong »

Turned up at my frame today to be greeted by 3 packets bags rolled over from yesterday. Said I wouldn't get it all completed and won't be doing any overtime. Anyway as I was going around my duty I thought id check the date on some of the rolled over packets. Some where dated a week ago. How can royal mail say there service is working when we have parcels date that far back?? Some recorded items too!!

Our office is a state. And its not even Christmas!

Careful.

1. They want to know what office you are from.
2. Its illegal to photograph without permission on RM premises.

So you could be hoisting your own petard.

Lol I wouldn't really =) they already know things are messed up everywhere. They'd probably ignore the email anyway. Denial.

Send Moya an artist's impression of the state of the office instead of a photo. ;)

Maybe my office is strange, we don't have beds in the warehouse, but rumours are that the managers might want them soon going by how late they are doing uncovered cutoffs after OPGs have gone home for the day. :left:

Artistic Vandalism is perhaps akin to Manager planning

I have seen final red foreign bags in our MC that were three months old.I wonder how much this is costing Royal Mail in fines.

Same in our DO. Leave the packets but don't forget your pizza leaflets what ever you do. Mental.

We just keep being told we are no longer a mail business but a packet business, thats fine i'm happy and agree with that... :hmmmm ...so why do packets get treated like s**t and are the first things to be left out when things get busy :crazy:
