Revolting reserves!
Bout time you reserves started to revolt against the way you are treated,and you reps and duty holders (if applicable)should be ashamed of yourselves for letting it go on.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: Revolting reserves!
His boss must use head and shoulders, both the bottled and figuratively. I am sure if a managers does the best for his staff, then it will be reciprocated and you get a happy and hard working workforce that will help out. Constantly telling them that they are not working hard enough, that they need to do more , that they aren't up to the job and its a performance issue, gets the opposite reaction. They also say when you find faults in others, that are actually yours reflected back at you.blue1873 wrote:Perhaps "Creditshampoo" has been on the "Shampoo"Creditshampoo wrote:I'm a reserve....and I love my job!

Re: Revolting reserves!
Wonder what lucky reserve has the prize for 'Most Tuesdays as day off' in a row
Or indeed 'Longest time without a Saturday'

If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

I probably get a Saturday off every three months or so. Last Monday off was in February if I recall correctly.

I've said this to every reserve that comes to our little office, they never get a Saturday offPOSTMAN wrote:Bout time you reserves started to revolt against the way you are treated,and you reps and duty holders (if applicable)should be ashamed of yourselves for letting it go on.
Also, they all seem to have Mondays or Tuesdays off, the so called lighter days (less hours)

Re: Revolting reserves!
In our place most walk holders are sympathetic to the cr@p modern reserves have to put up with but a few just give it the "Well we've all been there and done it" line but was being a reserve in the good old days as bad as it in the modern postal world ?
We're all here because we're not all there

You need to work hard to earn the perks that come with seniority (Coming from a 24hr reserve).GT85 wrote:In our place most walk holders are sympathetic to the cr@p modern reserves have to put up with but a few just give it the "Well we've all been there and done it" line but was being a reserve in the good old days as bad as it in the modern postal world ?
