I can see it now. Thousands of those letters from Simon with kill-off stickers on them and marked as "Refused."

Great letter Mr Thompson, an absolute masterclass on how to lose the dressing room. Well done.

Popular thread this one. Wonder why.

I bet we would have heard from the CWU if Rico had sent us this letter. Where’s the difference, as the song goes “new boss same as the old boss”

A couple of roads on the bolt on delivery in my office finally received their first delivery of the week today. Hospital Appointments, Birthday cards all amongst it. Royal Mail is an absolute shambles. That letter i got this morning just proves they haven't got a clue. Harping on about us taking stickers out for customers to put on their packets. Customers are shunning parcel collect. We cannot be trusted to turn up and collect them. Who wants to wait in all day just so we 'may' turn up to collect? And these managers are being paid a fortune to come up with these stupid ideas!

This 'team' of yours Simon is heading for relegation.

Oh I got my letter. Going straight back where it came from.
Does anybody reckon any of the real higher ups (including our pal Si) look at this forum? I hope so.
I mean, it’s who on earth thinks this s**t up. How completely out of touch must you be to even comprehend this letter being a remotely good idea?
The worrying thing is, they’re all peddling the same s**t. See it all over the RMTV.

Guess what though? I ain’t clearing no one elses frame. I ain’t even clearing my own, cus I ain’t got time. If I want the OT some days il do it; others you ain’t got a chance. Will work to time & cut off. Like everyone else does. It’s the only way they will get the picture.
Oh and FYI I ain’t bringing stickers to customers houses. Jokers.

I will not be clearing my walk if the workload is unmanageable.

I will not be clearing the office/lasping etc. either.

I will be arguing with the DOM on a daily basis

I will work my hours each day.

I will finish at my finishing time.

End of.

Those near/at the top haven't got a scooby doo about how hard OPGs work and what's really happening in depots, especially since the pandemic began ~18 months ago. Basing all these revisions on basically pre-pandemic parcel levels is utter incompetence. It's going to be a winter of discontent at Royal Mail, Simon wondering why the revisions aren't working and OPGs wondering when they get spandex suits including capes along with super hero training to complete what Simon thinks we should be easily doing each working day.
