Am I just aggraveted or annoyed?

Post by hampshireman »

My post came today. Not a problem with that .

... Buttttttt. The area I live in has had a revision. And today the Postie was carrying a bag.

Me being me; I asked why he was carrying. The answer ' It's easier and we all do it'

Me being me: You should not be doing that.

Answer: It gets me done , I used my car the other day.

I rest my case.

I despair

Send yourself two or three bricks in the post every day for a week. He will soon start using his trolley.

This is another thing that should be tied into any new agreement , making it mandatory to use all equipment provided.

It was.
It is.
In BT2010 but an agreement is worthless if neither side gives a f**k whether it's adhered to.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

We've managed to get cars banned, we even have OPG tell us if someone uses a car, but it doesn't matter how hard we try, we can not get them to use trolleys, I'll admit the DOM is happy to allow them to carry bags, but we've tried really hard and TBH getting nowhere.

The sad fact is management know this is going on ,and they also know its quicker to use a bag so they say nothing UNTIL a postie falls,trips does his back in etc then the management mask will go on .Well you were told to use trolleys !!!,they wont back you up if you have broken h/s rules all I say is DO THE JOB CORRECTLY :arrrghhh

We've had out revision and my partner uses a bag constantly.
Managers have spoken to him about it when they were out on checks and caught him yet he still does it.
They don't seem to care - probably because we get finished within our time every day.

Probably all away suffering crippling back pain from carrying overweight bags over all the years. These new measures are supposed to take the strain off your body and slow wear and tear that eventually leads to permanent injury.
But hey, its your body your destroying, if you don't think thats worth saving, your choice. On you go, but don't go running to the managers with a sob story and expect sympathy when you do cause yourself an injury.

Seems like some offices have ruled them out, from what iv'e been reading here..must be different rules for different offices.
And people should stick to the correct weights, but they never do, do they?
We've got people in our office carrying two bags on their backs to save them going back to their trolley...
