Its not called working to rule, its called " doing the job properly" no one has ever been sacked for doing the job properly. :Very Happy
Can you be sure of that? They just call you slow, say you can't do the job to a satisfactory standard. A lot of 'managers' have never done the job. A lot of linos were hopeless. Now they have a bit of power, its a worry.
Your right,I have performance issue's according to RM speak.
Think about it, you never had any performance issues prior to the revision , but suddenly, everyone has, even me, :crazy:
I married my wife for her looks, but not the one she gave me when i said i was going to be a postman.

I think a national strike is a long shot, but I think a head of steam is building - meanwhile Nero is worrying about DSA :shhhhh :shhhhh

I don't think RM see us a machines, I think they see us more as numbers on a spreadsheet and honestly don't even consider the impact of the changes on the ground.

As to management being retards - I think the opposite actually I think there are some very intelligent managers especially at senior level, they certainly seem to play the Union when it suits them, its just that they are still stuck in the Macho era of the 70s, making the lower level managers too scared to stand up to them.

work your hours and take your breaks. what could be simpler. although I know some managers like to get posties on their own and harass them and it can be this isolation that causes issues. at our office we have started taking breaks and it does eat into delivery. it is up to each postie to let manager know in good time if they are having probs with their walk. we have shared vans and having full break means we have to leave our parcels and some packets behind.

only two weeks ago one postie was getting some harassment and as his rep told the manager it was being seen as such. dom soon changed his tune and was all pally with the postie again. mention harassment to a manager and it soon works
