THREATING TO TAKE ME OFF MY WALK !!!

Post by ray of sunshine »

I have agreement with dim's boss to finish on at 11am on saturdays due to hubby at work at 11am and no childminder.
Over the past 3 weeks i have been doing the job properly with 2 others on my section.
It has now come to a head this morning.
Untouchable was supposed to take the mail out yesterday what i left in, he left it in! :mad :mad
We didnt get off the sorting until 7.15am.
4 boxes of mail later, after seeing the dim's boss about finally seeing something in black and white about my start and finish times i go back in the get the last bag and have dim and a screw looking at the mail left in.
He says the following.....
" I cant have this every saturday, i have took someone over to another office as i thought all the walks had gone out.U have left nearly two thirds of a walk in here."
I pointed out i came off the sorting at 7.15am, had 4 boxes of mail(left mailsort under fitting) my fitting is too small(keep saying that and it doesnt get me no where :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh )
He said the following
" we will have to have a meeting with the union on monday about this and talk about u going on another walk as u are not clearing this every day, u might have to go part time!!!!!!" :sad: :sad: :sad:
I burst into tears at that suggestion, and said"After 15 years doing this duty i have to say good bye to all my customers?" :sad: :sad:
"If that what u have to do!, go out outside and get some fresh air and get some of this walk out!"
I went and saw dim's boss and he says something has got to be done about me not leaving mail in the fitting.
I met the union man while going down to my walk, i was in a mess of tears.
He says we will have this meeting, and sort this out and not get too upset.
Trying to put the smily face on for my customers
they know something is up
any ideas for the meeting on monday????

Utter bullshit go part time my arse, change duty not likely, simple fact is u not clearing because there is too much work to do. They CANNOT make you go part time or change duty!!!

First Make a list of all your grievances and points and make sure your union guy gets it.

Start keeping a diary

Get everything in writing.

As to where you stand I'll move this to the Union Room so that those guys can give you advice about the actual meeting.

Good Luck but if your reps a good one you won't need it.

that cracks me up we have had two dims take out a walk in our office and they still brought most of it back.
My advice to you is to do the job as it should be done and keep your chin up though its hard and if you cant clear bring it back,

Keep your chin up, make sure your union rep is with you at the meeting, remind dum and dummer that if you request assistance, and that assistance
isn't forthcoming, they have failed to manage the situation and perhaps it's their roles which might be reviewed in the near future.

Good luck.

war of words

Post by ray of sunshine »

I heard this morning that after seeing me in flood of tears on saturday, the union rep went back to the office and ended up having a row with dummer. :Applause :Applause :Applause
They had a meeting yesterday and agreed i need a bigger fitting.
So on thursday I am going in on my day off and sorting my new fitting out.
It still wont make much difference as i normally have 8 boxes of mail and cant throw out much quicker, then i am doing already. :cool :cool
I took out yesterdays mail today, 6 bags drops and it took me well over 4 hrs to complete :Applause :Applause

So they made a woman cry! That shows everyone the measure of the scum we have 'managing' us. They wonder why we hate them, mistrust them, and certainly in my case, wish them into a very early grave. The useless mob of poltroons.

Due to problems I've been having and managers trying to force me onto another walk under DDA - I was told that as I have signed for the duty I cannot be forced off of the duty.

What annoys me in all this, is that you had an agreement with your managers. They then reaise that due to THEIR new rules, they can t see the job getting done. So they bully and harrass. This would NOT happen in any other job.
f**k me, this is a hard working, but lets be honest, easy job. Get the mail in, sort it, take it out and deliver.

The management are making problems where none exist. I would be embarrassed if I was your manager. f***ing useless. :crazy:
