DEAD MAN WALKING

Post by lennoxlove777 »

just a few lines

i been stressed out for 3 weeks and told both managers nothing just a is that all the mail you have in your frame .
and after getting moved onto a different round the pressure and stress took it,s toll i posted a special through the correct door not realasing untill back at the office . me been honest told the managers that i,d forgotton to get a signature . we,ll you,ll have to go down the conduct code and with it been a special you could get sacked .i offered to go back out to get the signature but was told it was too late . next day my rep and me were interviewed and my rep informed me that because it was me they would try and finish me . he told me to go out and get the signature on a piece of paper anyway i also told the lady and she came to the office to sign for the special and even although the manager was in the phg office covering and had a photo copy as evidence told the lady i didn,t matter . these are the same two managers with previous against myself i only wished i,d put a greivence in last time . also we have evidence that 4 people in our office have lost specials and only had a slapped wrist but because it,s me i,m walking the plank there is loads more but i dont want to put it up here just in case the swines are reading this

With the risk of repeating myself,again and again and...your managers are cocks.

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.

One problem

1 You admitted it, in only a very few cases is it worth admitting ANYTHING to the cockend Royal Mail managers. If you had not told them chances are exceptionally good that you could have got the signature later or more likely nothing would have been said anyway. Yes, I know, it's not very 'sound' advice but it IS the truth. Anyway, I think you know what I am getting at :cool

Still,

2) Ignore the tossers, there is VERY VERY VERY little chance of getting the sack for something as stupid as this. It's a simple, human, mistake.
we have evidence that 4 people in our office have lost specials and only had a slapped wrist
Perfect materiel for a tribunal - but it will not go that far. (and you did not even lose the special)

SLAP IN A GRIEVANCE NEXT TIME! Slap one in now if they have not started any proceedings.

Cockends indeed!

i agree, im sure its in the conduct code(in fact i know it is) where it states 'that royal mail are aware and understand mistakes can be made'. i have done exactly the same thing myself, i imediately phoned the dom and told him of the bollock i,d dropped. he just said ok, i believe you. there is no reason to doubt you. and i didnt get a signature by the way!,,, if this is the first time you have done this, you WILL be ok. specials are lost or mislaid hundreds of times, but to prop up your case, you admitted it, and got the recipient to back you up. if it goes any further, a good area rep will destroy them.

This is a good time to bang in a grievance against all the managers that have upset you, they can't do any worse to you.

As long as you are not going through the conduct route right now, I am sure this is not allowed. :(

I think you can put it at any time, same as somebody being sued can counter sue.

Not 100% on this one, pretty sure I read somewhere that grievances cannot be heard until after the conduct issue is in progress. Confirmation anyone?
