Ghosting

[Tuffers1875]

Another thief who has milked six figure sums from RM during his career as a ghost. Have a look at this topic http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 2&p=644779" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , a new challenge has come to your way of working.

Mind you, if it wasn't for 'inefficiencies' in working practices not effectively ironed out by management I might not have had this opportunity originally for the great job of ours

Aww, bless RM. Ghosts up and down the country sonny Jim. Get used to it.

Talking of Ghosting Tuffers have you been on the spirits today?

[SpacePhoenix]

In our DO, when ever you finish delivery ... you just walked out of the office . Some are making about 2 hours and this is after the revision.

Sounds like the DOM will have scope to cut loads of hours from your DO. How many of them are runners and/or cut corners?

[krussel]

Everyone works at different levels of pace. Out over the ground on a 4 hr delivery the faster postie can prob cut the time by 30 min max. If you have people making 2 hrs a day then these will always be the ones who are coming in early and cutting corners etc. Normally these folks do not lend a hand on the ips or take any kind of break but are in a mad rush to get out of the door asap.

As others have said the days of "super" ghosting are (have) coming to a end. Yes they were good back in the day but nowadays they will only head you off down a one way path to a part time job or extra absorbtion etc.

From my experience the posties that have lasted the longest in this job have been mostly plodders. The runners have grown frustrated with the changes and left.

Cheers Krussel I think you're right though. I know a few old posties that used to be runners and they've had to leave the job due to problems. Mainly with legs/shoulders/backs, a lot caused by carrying overweight bags in the bad old days and trying to rush around.

RM don't give a s**t but they're still having to live with their problems.

But if you come in an hour early. How can you be 'making' two hours... and if you come in two hours early ? how can you be making ... etc , etc ad nauseum (spelling?)
