Re: Is TNT post in meltdown ??
So, to what extent is TNT's 'meltdown' due to "the place is staffed & run by Polish managers / supervisors at the expense of british workers" ?

Well, if "The british ones .... just go in, do the bare minimum , go home" is it any surprise that they're employing Polish supervisors / shift managers ?surewecan wrote:They have employed so many foreigners that to be able to communicate with them you have to speak polish![]()
The british no longer on the whole dont apply for any vacancies ie team leaders / supervisors / shift managers , there is no cooperation / teamwork in the centres
The british ones with the knowledge / skills just go in , do the bare minimum , go home , the poles are so arrogant that it causes arguments .
The polish supervisors / shift managers dont supervise / manage they just get orders from the centre managers about everything , consequently quality is permanently poor .
Any more info just ask

Except for the Polish comment the story seems familiar - is it the nature of the sector, or just a snapshot of the current management style in the UK today.

RM workers are busting a gut to help the managerssurewecan wrote:You seem to be concentrating on the " polish " element as if RM has a large element of supervisors / managers in depots![]()
You will be saying next that RM workers are busting a gut to help the managers
Any new british people starting at TNT are given no training whatsoever , H & S is just a myth , consequently only the polish workers get a chance to progress
They have been ripping off staff for years over overtime payments etc , only recently been addressing these issues .
Going back to the original post "is TNT UK " in meltdown , yes it is if they dont expand the End To End they are goners
