we have too few sorters on the IPS to deal with whats coming in each morning,
the managers haven't got the 1st clue what to do about it, they tell us to cut off at about 07.45 to prep our walks and leave the mail to build up even more,
as far as i know, no one has been offered overtime to sort it, and if there was anyone who intended doing so, i'd have a not so quiet word with them.
Are you sure you don't work at Cheadle DO
Sound very similar

I'm a couple of miles to the north, south east d.o.

Not much mail on again today in our D/O (not had a really busy day since we went
on strike)
however the transport yard looks like the gypsys have moved in blue tarps
covering loads of yorks (our backlog i presume)
managers not a clue how to get rid of it "OR"
are they waiting for this agreement to go through and then
start wheeling the whole lot into the office
saying "try that little lot for flexible working"
I wonder?

surprised that no one at cheadle has been offered o/t to clear the backlog. at stockport our line manager is desperate to get ours cleared,"dont worry about booking"he keeps saying all sectors at stockport are clear of the backlog except my sector but reckon when i get in after my day off will be clear friday.

People are doing overtime, But also people are doing the job properly!
I have childcare issues so i don't do overtime!
Lucky you for getting clear!

I have been told that all the management team that is served from Cardiff Mail centre ie all Doms, asms and admin managers met this afternoon because of the backlog. They cant fathom out why its not clearing.

back log 'what back' log our office is clear but if you look around we do have a lot of yorks full of grey bags i guess it's can't be mail can it ? royal mail would never lie ? and the casuals aren't here either but we do have loads of strange people without uniforms but royal mail wouldn't lie would they?

big question is if all these managers are doing our jobs then just what do they do when not doing our jobs ?
and just how much is royal mail prepared to pay others to do our work have even been told that area managers have been out on walks 'but it takes two baby' don't know how much they earn but i guess it's circa Â£50,000
