FLEXIBILITY WORKS?

Post by k979aaa »

Flexibility works or does it is the headline in propaganda magazine that royalmail puts out and inside this january 2008 edition is a supplement giveing exampels of how it works in different offices up and down the land. And they all seam happy about it but you have to ask yourselfs will i be the one who always gets the sh*t end of the stick. And where did my two hours go that i was promised and when can i have that week off and do i have to work 11 hour shift at short notice. IF THIS GETS IN IT WILL BE THE END OF US ALL WE MUST RESIST THIS AT ALL COSTS!.

where do they get these actors from? boasting how good flexibility is and how great the job is. these are the same morons i see on our pointless plasma tv in the morning at work.

either they are actors or they really are insane, or more likely, are wild crabs.

Wish they were actors, one of those people in that leaflet covers the meal relief on one of my duties, when they are not at work other arrangements arn't made to cover them and we have to argue with a manager to get the meal relief covered. Flexibility works my A@@e :evil/mad
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Course it works - it works for them otherwise there would be no need to publicise how advantageous it is to have someone do your duty for nothing whilst you go for a hospital appointment, so that when they want a weeks holiday you do their job for nothing - yep it's a wonderful life in flexibility land - wonder if they'll be flexible enough to kiss my backside?

Im confused.

I thought flexibilty was only implemeted through the summer months, through certain weeks. If its being implemeted now then thats not right is it? Or did I not read the small print or was I lied to by my DOM. I voted No by the way, before anyone accuses me of moaning too late.

Yes you are indeed confused - you are referring to "summer saving" whereby 5 people cover 6 duties for the summer period because there is no mail - yet another wonder plan - and the CWU bods think it is OK.
