Nothing has changed
After a vote for no strike action last year we were assured things would change with regards to bullying, workload, etc
Nothing has changed though, jobs are still too big, part timers jobs are not being thrown off, overtime claims are looked at with suspicion and those who claim/cut off become targets for line managers. Often this is being watched while you sort or throw off and any small mistake held against you. Anyone seen to be a problem is also 'observed' on delivery and warned for not carrying their 'dog peg'.
Same with breaks, anyone who dares stop for a break instead of going straight out the door is questioned,maybe in a joking sort of way but it's still a form of intimidation.
Absorption is expected every day, and they can't even be bothered to put it in loops, it's always a long dead walk down one side of a road. If you say you haven't got time you get "I need you to do it" or "there will be consequences".
I am getting pretty tired of the environment in the office and attitude of the management. Not sure how much longer I will put up with it. Anyone else feel the same?

Re: Nothing has changed
face it, with no union, youd be working for minimum wage and zero hour contracts.

Re: Nothing has changed
at least you would be able to take a day off when you want to on a zero hour contract like a 25 years not worth the botherPostie45 wrote:face it, with no union, youd be working for minimum wage and zero hour contracts.

Re: Nothing has changed
What a load of rubbish
How about the truth
The long serving postmen /women this company
Throw walks in as slow as possible
Walk as slow as possible
And take the piss to be honest
Then the hard workers quicker honest reliable
Staff get grief for doing a good job
