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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Walking through spider's webs everywhere at this time of year?
Actually had a spider dangling down from the back of the van when I opened the back door today. Good job I don't mind them...

Royal Mail delaying mail, delaying whole walks, making us go out and deliver 2 days worth of post. Whilst they are saving a fortune doing this, we are stressed and exhausted and have the whole threat of 'delay of mail' over our heads.

Re: What annoys you the most?
Everything at the moment , knowing we are in a big mess and intense christmas pressure is days away . Knowing this could all have been avoided if the workers were listened too and respected . Certain staff been looked after again in revisions , that sticks out a mile . The unions silence is very very strange .

Re: What annoys you the most?
Seniority. Seriously what a s**t system. Any other company uses suitability for job. Why should someone who can manage to drag 4 loops out and bring 2 back be given the chance of a better job simply because theyve been there longer?

Re: What annoys you the most?
What is suitability for the job then, in your opinion? Someone who can run round quicker than the next? Do you really think that because someone is quicker they are doing a better job?2yearpostie wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 14:05Seniority. Seriously what a s**t system.

Re: What annoys you the most?
When your an office reserve you know who is dragging it out and what can and cant be done. As for suitability. Flat short rounds automatically go to older staff (55+) or posties carrying an injury/disability. Anything else to those that have that have done the walk most often so can give a better customer service, rather than train someone on an easy job just because theyve been there 24hrs longer than another posty..P13 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 15:55How do you know they are dragging it out ?

Re: What annoys you the most?
Some colleagues start early , don't take breaks , don't use the mandatory equipment, run round, dump parcels in bins is that what you mean by better customer service.2yearpostie wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 17:41When your an office reserve you know who is dragging it out and what can and cant be done.

Some colleagues are genuinely quicker than others doesn't mean the others are dragging it out though . Do you trust managers to decide who is "better" than others.

Re: What annoys you the most?
Seriously you're a stuck record, you could always take the advice of the screws and go find a better job. No?2yearpostie wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 14:05Seniority. Seriously what a s**t system. Any other company that I've just made up uses me the apple polisher for job. Why should someone who doesn't cut corners, work through breaks, come in early for for no pay, to drag 4 loops out and bring 2 back when that is all that time allows, be given the chance of a better job before me who has been here all of five minutes waah waah waah!
