We’ve been told to wear the RM mask when possibly facing a customer, knocking on a door etc.
The pro maskers are now starting to realise that uniform matching masks will be mandated, and they will not be permitted to carry on with their scarfs or comedy idiot decal masks.

SilvaDur - a pesticide, insecticide & rodenticide.

(Impregnated on the third layer of the RM standard issue facemask)

And good for 25 washes.

Let's double mask it will cut the infection rate by half or triple mask and it will make it a third?

Shutting your mouth and not breathing works better if you prefer k979aa? Joking but seriously wearing a mask helps stop potential transmission. Your not forced to wear the new rm branded ones in my office. Can't believe a year on and we're still discussing masks.

They seem to have made up a new rule that you have to wear a mask while you are moving about the office but not when you are at your frame. The fact they are turning round and shouting across to people seems irrelevant in their little world.
I think one of the big problems was the mixed messages sent out when masks became "mandatory" but weren't.
Since the mandatory wearing of masks came in we've been using this as a guide. The problem arose when people with glasses had problems throwing off because their glasses kept steaming up. The logic was we were 2m apart and facing our frames. My colleagues are pretty good and if someone approaches them to talk the masks are quickly slipped up. :thumbup

As you mention there are a few idiots that insist on gobbing off to their mates at the other side of the office. :arrrghhh

Our biggest problem is "Runners" that cannot wait to clear their IPS, or their packets, and insist on walking backwards, and forwards, with half a dozen letters and a few packets. :arrrghhh Despite being repeatedly told they please themselves .... Weak Management IMO. :cuppa

Ha Ha :Applause Haven't been on ArseBook since the Pandemic took off, simply for the ammount of weird & wonderful post that people normally post. I knew it was going to get worse. It seems that no social media forum is exempt . :cuppa

Since no person on this thread mentioned ANY potential side effects with long term wearing of face coverings (i say again: no risk assessment done by RM/Union) why we don’t wear 2 or ideally 3/4 masks at the same time?! Since it looks like there are no side effects at all and no oxygen restrictions and no increase in CO2 and no re-inhaling of your bacteria etc shouldn’t we wear multiple layers of masks? (Please don’t give surgeons or Chinese people wearing it as example-they don’t wear some clothes/dirty scarfs over their faces). Are you really saying there are NO side effects at all?’

Do you think Royal Mail should risk assess general standards of cleanliness?

If people are wearing dirry scarves, masks or cloths over their faces that's kind of their responsibility surely?

You could cut the infection rate to zero if you ware a plastic bag on your head just make sure it is a clear one so you can see where the slots are in the frame!

Some people I known in the distant past pissed and shat in their own pants on around did not want a pair up with them are you suggesting mandatory masks checks/face covering checks? This is ludicrous next we will have finger nail length or swabs and fart monitors in place!

I don't know about you folks, but those new CWU face masks aren't the best to wear. Especially where your lips rest against the inside.

Not happy. :neutral:

(Nice to have xmas smilies still available in February) :Very Happy
Been otherwise engaged, sorry but it's now time, xmas sucks anyway!

PS: What a wank thread.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.
My BFF Clash
The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
