No s**t our planner was ex CWU rep for large millitant office on South Coast. When I asked him why - He replied 'didn't you read the agreement-we are all f***ed' If that is how reps feels up and down the country why not just roll over and ask for mercy?POSTMAN wrote:Aren't theses planners Blue shirts hoping to better themselves,we had a thread on here a while ago about the jobs being advertised in local offices.
I know i saw a flyer on our office notice board about it.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: all revisions suspended.
One of the biggest flaws is actually beyond everyone's control,and delays or not has already taken place,RM in it's wisdom has paid for everything up front!
so rather than saying we'll take 20 WSM's on approval,we've bought the bloody lot,our mail centre should be issuing us with at least 60% walk sequenced,but we're lucky if we're getting 20%.
i know it may have been better before,but it wasn't cost effective,however everythings been based on assumptions,500 delivery points for example.
one more thing,the sequenced mail is supposed to save time,so if they assume it takes 50mins to prep your mail,and the machines will save you 10mins,what if it only took you 35mins anyway?

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.

Re: all revisions suspended.
Long and shorts are a reaction to daily fluctuations in traffic,ie.monday is always quieter than friday,so rather than having a standard 8 hour shift,you could work less hours earlier in the week,and more later in the week,this also can give a shorter day on the saturday(for now at least)moyas slave wrote:primey wrote:Tomorrow DIM amd planner going for a meeting in CH/LL area to see when the revision can be put in place.

Re: all revisions suspended.
Has anyone read the January edition of Courier?
I searched and searched, but not one word about Revisions, P&L or HCTs.... Absolutely amazing editing. How can the editor of this thing manage to edit it without any reference to the Gloriously Sucessful Revisions and the Happy Smiling Posties?
Even the USSR's Pravda at its worst managed stories about Pig Iron Production increasing year-on-year, when no such thing was really happening.
I say, sack the Editor of Courier for poor story generation performance.

we usually have to force his hand to tell us anything but when he does its quite a full and frank statement and he did say all office that had got as far as walk and loop were in trouble, followed up with "oh, and david cameron would like to thank you all for your hard work over the xmas period" again totally true, other offices must have heared the same.... surely. :dcfo
