Post by dubdaz »

Heard they walked out today,4 postmen suspended from walks for cutting off last week,so the office have walked.
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

We were told (warned) about this today .Basically advised if you are going to cut then tell the DOM before leaving the office.

Informing management that you may not be able to complete has ALWAYS been the rule, if you don't your leaving yourself open to a charge of willful delay of the mail.

You also need to ask them what they want you to do with the cut off, leave it in or take it out and bring it back, and get a clear answer. Don't take the chance on a 'misunderstanding'.

And make sure there is a witness too, so they can't deny being told.
