Postmen work to their own speed if it isn't up to scratch it is up to a manager to call it - not a colleague. That's what they are paid for!

I wasn't talking about the speed, the accuracy of the sorting is appalling, on the IPS and the frames.

What I'm talking about (worst example) is a mate of the DUM, scab, smallest round in the office. He throws 1 letter in to my 3, doesn't sort, just preps his own. When he's finished prepping his round he walks round the sorting frames every 5 minutes picking up a couple of letters, throws them in, again & again. When he's bored with that, he'll go off for a chat with the PHG or go & make himself a cuppa. Then stands up in WTLL & says there's no teamwork any more!!! As I said, some people take the piss!!!
DUM won't do anything!

lack of sorters

Post by thekiddykid »

Jack you are dead right with your comment. Stroll around our office and you will see 15 full timers ( if you are REALLY lucky) sorting on the IPS from 6am..At the same time you will find DOUBLE that amount throwing out their own walks. But the real p**s take is saturday when the 'CAKE MAN' sets up his stall in the canteen!!!!! So while 15 of us are working our bo***x off ( and whatever the girls work off too) these idle b***ARDs are not only on their frames but stuffing victoria sponge down their gobs as well!!! :cuppa Even the line managers admit we need MORE sorters but when our DOM strolls in at 7.30 every day what f****n chance have you got :d'oh!
