1 We were told by our Dom yesterday when a senior manager came to our office that nowadays the only way a part timer will get full time hours if it is agreed by a DIrector at Royal Mail, is this true, the senior manager who was there never said anything to the contrary.
2 Today in our unit we got Election cards in our unit, instead of as in previous years when you count the items and get paid for how many you have done, this time with union agreement apparently he has worked out an average of 800 cards per house for the whole unit and you get 5.2p per card, he said this is done everywhere now which somehow I don't believe but I'm sure ill find the answer here.

Re: Two questions
I'm surprised you're getting anything at all. Council staff have delivered them for a number of years here - except for the ones out of the way or they don't know or couldn't find which they pop in the post box and we deliver them gratis.postmanplod69 wrote:1 We were told by our Dom yesterday when a senior manager came to our office that nowadays the only way a part timer will get full time hours if it is agreed by a DIrector at Royal Mail, is this true, the senior manager who was there never said anything to the contrary.

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.
