Anyone else think RM are telling porkies

Real reason is vacancies
How many other areas are suffering but are not on the list?
N1 for instance

[worktotime]

we arent on the list , and we fail full deliverys everyday and its a disgrace , not enough staff and not filling vacancies .

They missed out the north east, only had 2 letters since 2nd January one of those was my payslip and genuinely waiting for something quite important.

We were told last week to make sure d2ds go even if it means leaving loops of mail in

Letter deliveries have been very patchy ( Twice a week at best) in my Postcode for at least 6 weeks. The office has never been listed as a hotspot.

It makes you wonder just how bad the frames in these “problem” hotspots must be looking. We had one at the end of November that didn’t go out for 4 days and that looked bad enough. They said on the radio earlier that the nhs letters inviting people for Covid vaccinations won’t be delayed, are they pulling all these out and delivering them daily? Can’t see it somehow.

If they're mechable letters then they'll be in the sequenced mail boxes

Mail continuously being left in frames

Management not bothered about getting it covered. Covid is providing quite a convenient excuse of failing the USO and saving the pennies in not paying out overtime. Most staff aren't daft enough to be doing 2 days worth of work in one day. They want paying for 2 days for clearing everything not 1!!

It all gets chucked in the frame everyday even if it’s not going at ours in the hope the delivery fairy’s come overnight and get rid of it all.

The Covid situation is far worse than the figures you see on the BBC news and it is going to get much worse before it gets better. RM have a habit of running understaffed but sadly other businesses such as the supermarkets also run this way as well. ?

Wouldn't surprise me if the same were true for most firms these days

[koolishy67]

It's not only Royal mail every other businesses doing same thing

[Nickvilla20]

My office is one of those on the list. I’ve been off for 2 weeks but before I broke up there was Mail everywhere about 20 York’s of manual letters to sort people been moved all over to rounds they didn’t know it was a complete nightmare. The main cause of staff shortage was loads were getting pinged by the NHS app to go isolate but the DOM was insistent that there isn’t to many people in the building.

I don’t understand the difference in various offices. It’s basically open docket in our D.O. Take as much as you like or as little.
