It's a f**king joke :thumbdown

Walks are still too long, more lapsing, no staff, no overtime, mail not being delivered, another video from Sue Whalley about how we've got to do MORE work in LESS time.... nobody cares anymore.

Blame those not doing the job "properly", (they must bear a lot of the responsibility);

eg:

* Running round their walk
* Coming in before their start time
* Not taking their proper breaks
* etc
* etc

How aptly named this woman is. Whoever she is. Saw her on a WTLL ,propaganda session video, the other day ,still none the wiser. Another non job no doubt.

it's ok blaming these , they are just looking after themselves in the short term , these are the people who won't see 20+ years of service.
it's the many managers and "disabled indoor staff " that they need to get rid of , sapping up all the money for doing little.
Why are lino's paid full-time ??
