Nobody telling us anything, same where I work, this Rocco block not said anything, that is bad when we are in these challenging times, we are risking our own health for RM & people like him can’t even be bothered to speak to us, he needs to go been a disaster since he came, At my depot the union have gone very quite, not heard anything from them either.

Woody 38 , totally agree , his silence has been deafening .Management here haven't a clue , re this crisis , in fact two here f****d off and are working from home , whilst we put ourselves at risk .Hopefully we pull through this and at the other side realise what a bastard of a company we all work for and wise up and don't do these people any favours as management's true colours have been seen in this crisis

Silent bad deadly springs to mind. This CEO is pretty ignorant to the fact there is a crisis but some of the units are working as normal pretending that nothing has happened.

At least all the other CEO's were in some sort of communication with the union and the workforce. It's all about the money and not about the people.

Manager announced that Rico had a vid for us to watch, thanking us.
Huge shouts of abuse. Manager says " fair play, f**k him!"

ricos statement wasn't a thank u but a warning there would be changes in the future. We are risking our lives for the expletive even after he basically tells us many of yas are getting sacked after this.

Gradually things are getting worse every day, RM are doing nothing of course people are going to be anxious when u have 100 people working in close contact to each other, what I would do is temporary have the Mail sorted till 7.00am anything not sorted can. Be sorted later, postie coming in about 30 a time get them in and out so there less people around

Went in today and the office was full no social distancing at all. This is not hard, full timers put the mech in for all duties and go deliver their duties and p/t come in at 11.00 am and prep the rest of their frames and go and deliver. Why are mangers finding it hard to do this?

Because they haven’t a Scooby doo, I must have a sick sense of humour but it is nice to c them stressing out as less people come in & more jobs don’t go out. There’s an old saying what goes around comes around.

NEXT has taken the first step in closing down their online operation the other day. I think within the next two weeks RM will be closed down until the virus subsides or is gone.

Why should a part time worker come in at 11?
