Management Cull

[Wessex]

Yes, really they're only needed for about 3 hours a day. Suppose no one wants to do 3 hour days 5 or 6 days a week though.

A flexible p/t management grade for delivery offices is just what the doctor ordered , put them on zero hour contracts as well because there will be some days when they are not needed at all

I've heard there is going to be a msssive cull in my mc.
Managers here are already sabbing each other in the back

Why are they still advertising for and taking on graduate managers?

Are the 'oldskool' managers on the way out to make way for a new breed?

Graduate £24,000 a year replacement for some Managers on £36,000 a year depending on grade and office

To make the management of RM more professional....

[tigercat]

They could make RM management more professional by replacing them with a troop of baboons in suits.

Short of posties , need MORE smaller duties and more customer facing deliverers - too many managers and office staff staying in til 2pm ? mmm now what is the answer????

[plymouth3]

Sounds like a plan, part time managers.

Spot on Pete ... problem has been in the past that the capable Grads or ones that can see through the management spin do 2/3 years with RM to build up the CV and move on to better things.

Greene has believed for a long time that there are far too many managers at RM. PT managers have been in place in MCs for quite some time and I see no reason why some DO linos could not follow suit (excuse the pun) provided the offices were covered.

Safe to say that if there is a cul the support managers will be targetted first and if they don't wish to take VR the business will 'encourage' them to leave.

I was told by a planner last week that she's been told by Royal Mail to start looking for another position "not necessarily within the business".

Planners first as they start to scale back the revisions,then as Bud says they'll look at support then it might get interesting...will they attack operational managers before they touch their "baby"...World Class Mail?

Lets face it FT they should get rid of most of the planners, they have failed!

So much for the PIR reviews then....

[bogstandard]

I think the cull is coming but only to those who were encouraged to become deputy managers.
as far as i can see this is a paper exercise to show the "shareholders " how well the business is at saving money.

Managers here are already stabbing each other in the back

No change there then.

[ratchet]

First they came for the Full Time Posties,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Full Time Postie.

Then they came for the Part Time Posties,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Part time Postie.

Then they came for the CWU trade union members,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a CWU trade union member.

Then they came for me,
and no one gave a s**t because I was a manager and I'd lined my pockets by screwing all the above.
