Re: packets
That's because DOMs get their arses kicked if the fail the USO and not if they leave parcels for days on end.

Re: packets
Packets no longer exist within RM, fact.
We only deliver parcels now as the word "packet" is not understood by joe public.

When i retired i had planned to buy a pub and call it Packet Inn,put my own personal music on the jukebox and sit there getting pissed until it went to the wall.
Parcel Inn makes f**k all sense.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: packets
When everything eventually becomes trackable management won't be able to pull crap like that as the higher up screws will be able to check the gps to see if the delivery attempt scans were made in the DOsshepherdess wrote:Another manager trick when 30 packet yorks turn up they empty 10 out and pack them into the remaining 20.

Re: packets
I've been a postie for just on six months and it took me five of them to remember to call packets "packets" and not call them "parcels". Now I find that we are to call them "parcels" from now on.
What next, D2Ds (or neightbourhoods as they call them in my DO) will in future be called "leaflets" which I spent four months saying

Re: packets
I heard if you leave a bundle with say 50 letters, thats 50 items that have failed.
But if you leave 5 packets instead thats only 5 items that have failed

We've been here before,most if not all packets,parcels or whatever you want to call them are part of the USO.
What f***ing comes in must go out anyway!
You wankey managers make me laugh.

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.
