Time to be scared

[Bishbashbbosh]

someone gets paid 3 hours more than me for doing the same round, not exactly fair IMO

How is that then?

A duty that I finish by 12.30, but the regular can't seem to finish until gone 3, albeit a lot older than me.

As long as you are doing your job properly and not coming in early or cutting corners

Why anybody comes in early is a mystery to me?

[Lincox]

I would imagine that this guy has derived his name from the way that he does his walk. Bish Bash Bosh, job done boss. He does not understand that the job is not a race and he obviously constantly compares his performance against others. Get a life mate, work at a reasonable pace mate yes, but the job is not a race and if others take a bit more time to make sure that the job is done correctly they should not be constantly ridiculed by the likes of you.

Either a troll or a certain breed of manager

Answer the following please, so we can gauge

1.do you laugh and ridicule me when I inform you of a dog attack?

2.do you intimidate me(try anyway) when I claim dockett on a duty which was "built" by you without planners and you guessed the loops/times

3.insult me and talk I'll of me to other managers and then wonder why I ignore you for a month.

4.look at me incredously when I ask you to step to a quiet area so I can tell you I'm considering a greivance due to your childish insulting manner?

5.expect me to work for nothing and not get paid for overtime worked

If you reply with "grow a pair " etc......if you are a troll you should apply for a links job today...

Any other reply I just don't care because I work for my money but you don't own me.

i think that you are forgetting that tnt have recently had some very negative press reports.stories of mail being dumped in woods and fields have been rife.that doesnt happen with our people.most of our posties have built up a good rapport with their customers .methinks you are being too critical.

[pinstripe]

With TNT in particular gunning for our business. The reluctance to do a good days graft from many of our workers is quickly going to be the downfall of RM. ........................................... Unfortunately they are the same things that make our customers go elsewhere and putting us into a declining state of business. Isn't it time we all did our best to save our jobs rather than adding to the already difficult climate in which our competition are laughing at us?

No. The downfall of RM is caused by greed, privatisation and poor management.

Our "customers" go elsewhere solely based on price. They come back due to the poor service offered by our competitors.

We've already tried to save our jobs. Right now we are all so annoyed that management think it's all our fault. If only we could deliver at 10mph for 36 hours a day, 10 days a week, for £1.00 a hour, then their bonuses would be safe. Oh wait, I meant the USO would be safe.

royal mail can survive if we all take a huge paycut and go on zero hour contracks,will you start the ball rolling,bishbosh.

Brilliant, so it's not just my office, it's the same view across the country. In some ways I can't wait for the day that some of you have to pick up that job journal and see what else your incredibly poor intelligence and work-ethic can get you

There is nothing more the OPG can do for this company. The vast majority of posties on the frontline are working their arses off for this company, go home exhausted, some even come in early and run round, some do overtime for free, offices barely have the staff they should have anyway, we are all working too hard if anything! Its the brain dead management taking RM down a one way street to self destruction. We've got DOMs bullying staff who do a decent job leading to stress and workers going sick. We've got managers and planners coming up with unrealistic targets and workloads leading to mail being left behind leading to poor customer service. We've got pointless money wasting crap going on like WCM. The list goes on.

[eastie]

Wont name the delivery office but they are doing 11 lapsed walks every day to cover for illness , bullying and stress since P/L . This has steadily risen due to too much work for less and less staff

[krussel]

Although this post is quite provocative to cause an argument by accusing posties of not working hard enough it does raise the real concern of TNT delivering their own contracts by 2017.

I think the real reason that such are large proportion of our mail bag is TNT dsa is down to the fact that it is US delivering it cheaper than we are allowed to charge for ourselves. We also offer a dependable reliable 6 day per week service which the public (despite moaning) trust. TNT do not yet have this structure to sell.

The question is should we “risk it” and refuse to handle TNT mail and see how long their contracts stick with them before coming running to us. The longer that we allow these leaches like TNT to ride on our backs the stronger they become.

[krussel]

Looking at the other suggestion of this post in the lack of efficiency of Posties on delivery is not so clear.
We have looked at the “I can finish that walk an hour quicker than Bob” argument before and normally there is a good reason for this. The most likely is an age gap or the way Bob conducts himself over the ground by not walking on peoples lawns and stepping over fences or not door stepping etc.

If your office has undergone the revision then I doubt that many deliveries are in fact inefficient as most are stretched to 4 hours +. Bear in mind that we are in the summer period so the mail (other than packets) will traditionally be lighter.

No. I think the Posties have been pushed far enough already and some beyond that. The only way we could meet TNT's overheads head on would be to adopt their working conditions of min wage and zero hour contracts. I am sure no one wants that.

If your looking for hard savings within a delivery office then I think you need to take a closer look at management. Normally by 10am a line managers role is about 80% complete. Other than the 12.30pm conference call and some house keeping tasks (customer complaints etc) you will most likely find managers prepping walks for posties on overtime. The next logical step would be for the manager to take these walks out and deliver them.

Now I am sure plenty on here would relish in the thought of a manager going out on a delivery on a wet and windy day but the bigger picture would be a large reduction of overtime in the office which would have a negative effect on the people that need the money the most.

By the tone of that reply you seem to want Royal Mail to be able to break the law to survive. Off to the Mills mines with you grandad.

Could it be that it takes him 3 hours longer because of his age, if so, not to pay him overtime would be illegal. Also to make the duty completable by a younger person, but not an older is also illegal.
