Courier crap

Why not have different shifts to accommodate ,the customer at both ends and the poor sod in the middle (us!).
For example, letter deliveries ,between 7 and 3 pm, Monday -Friday,packet deliveries and collections,Monday-Sunday, between 11-00-1900,the work and the hours are there to suit all ,if only they thought about it and planned it well. Thees always a first for planning something well,even in this shambolic organisation.

This thread should have been titled RoyalMailChat crap.

Don't bait others, if you are baited don't resort to name calling.

Some posts deleted. Don't ask which ones I have more than enough real life stuff to worry about

And here too. Wrote to them saying i wasn't interested in it and they have not sent a copy to me since. Stopping it seems a no brainer if it winds you up so much.

Erm sorry when are Royal mail going to choose the customer , the same customers who they are quite happy to leave mail days on end in our office because they refuse to recruit staff and refuse to pay over time. Im only going on whats happening in my office and region but believe me I suspect its everywhere and that's Royal mail don't give a flying f... about the customer just short term profit.

Yes, customers and employees don't matter any more. it's all about the shareholders.

I like the way Royal Mail suggests that it is the CWU that wants our company to change. Yes the Union did propose the 35 hour working week, but if Royal Mail did not want to pay staff an increase in the hourly rate, then it wouldn't even consider it.

The fact that they are considering it, means that the changes that RM are proposing - in particular, the later starts, must mean that they are very profitable for the company.

Even though it would appear that they are unpopular for the majority staff

And customers? Well, if I bought a parcel on eBay, then is the customer the person who pays for the parcel or the person sending the parcel? I think, both...

I've had this opinion of the Courier since the first time I read it when I started at RM. Propaganda. I've never read it since, or any of the other information that RM sends to us. As far as I'm concerned if they want us to read the Courier, or read about how 2D scanning is important then we should do that in work time. The only communication that RM sends to me that is important is wage slips and pension pot.
