The 'WTLL Tuesday' thread.

[deadbox]

Oh and one more thing - if anyone doesn't like working here --------- leave.

Great diplomat our DIM

Doesn't that amount to "constructive dismissall"

Next time he's says something like that, mention to him this fact , and tell him that If he repeats it you will formaly be LOGGING his statement with the B & H line, CWU and His area manager.......

Then Smile as he fumbles this next few words..........

WTLL seems to have been taken of the agenda at my office. Third week on the trot this has happened.

Had a work time learning this morning about them bringing in a 6.15 start (we're 5.00 at the moment) in september. They tried telling us it was because of the EEC directive stipulating that the vans can only drive up to 56 mph so they will take longer to reach there destination. I mentioned to them that those van runs were originally worked out at those speeds any way so it should make no differance, and what speeds must they have been doing if it was above 56!!!!.They could'nt tell me I then asked if the real reason was a cost cutting measure,they said royal mail would'nt save anything coz the early allowance will be consolidated into any future pay rise.Will new recruits receive the early allowance I awkwadly asked, no came the reply, so you are saving money then and it IS a cost cutting measure

How f***ing dumb do they think we are

We've forgotten what a WTL is in our office! Only had one in four weeks, including todays, as temp Dum chose it as his dayoff, our other temp Dum, who's missed two, is on his jollies for two weeks. Obviously no propaganda to brainwash us with at the moment!

our wtl was also about later starts. they seem hell bent on bringing this in as soon as poss. said we'd all be getting letters very shortly. thought all this had been put on back burner for now. ?

Did not have one this week - too busy yesterday and today we asked for one because we were bored. Manager said no we have them on Tuesdays (RM managerial flexibility - only flexible when it suits them).

I queried the lack of managerial interest in WTL this last two weeks and was told they hadn't had anything sent down for them to read out!!!

Functions of management

Management operates through various functions, often classified as planning, organizing, leading/motivating and controlling.

* Planning: deciding what needs to happen in the future (today, next week, next month, next year, over the next five years, etc.) and generating plans for action. -------------------------------------------RM Fail Decision Making give me a break.

* Organizing: making optimum use of the resources required to enable the successful carrying out of plans. -----------------------------RM Fail Unless you call bring in casuals to cover.

* Leading/Motivating: exhibiting skills in these areas for getting others to play an effective part in achieving plans. ---------------------------------- RM Fail Ha

* Controlling: monitoring — checking progress against plans, which may need modification based on feedback.--------------------------- RM Fail Feedback they don't know what it means.
