posties forced to go sick due to doing the job properly

Post by gman »

i know a number of guys who simply cant handle the stress any more of being harrassed by managers for "poor performance" because they arent up to scratch with the car users..... these same guys will be harrassed back to work and then will be back under the same pressures all over again.... well done again car users n early starters, ur so called colleagues are made to suffer for your selfishness... this should be fun hearing the pityful responses car users n early starters cum up with now

Unfortunately this situation has been going on for years and is a bit of a downward spiral if your trying to do the jop properly on your own. The only way out of this situation is to get your rep involved and to make the managers pull their neck in.

you are correct, no leeway is given to the older blokes, they all want evr, they certainly will take sick leave before retirement date.
Its what happens, when managers are on bonuses, to cut more hours, summer lapsing has taken 120 hours out the office.
They have ruined the royal mail.

Put in grievences.......lots and lots , that might help, in fact it should help. Victimisation, bullying and harrassment etc..and make sure they are dealt with and dont get fobbed off, good luck and dont let the bastards grind you down.

'Yawn'

Same old, same old. Blaming car users because you haven't got a 2 hour first delivery and 10 letters on the 2nd anymore like in the 'good old days'.

I suppose it's also car users fault that RM are introducing performance standards as well, and not the people that think a days work means strolling around until their time and sending 2 bags back.

That's not doing the job properly, that's causing us all to have to meet standards because RM know full well a lot of staff aren't pulling their weight.

All these 5 and 6 hours walks people on here have, how many drops are there on them? :roll:

The rumor in our office is that the DOM complained higher up the chain that their demands were unworkable. Supposedly, he was told to they don't care, 'manage the problem'.

Imagine a world without cars being used on delivery,it's not hard is it! :roll:
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
