Calling the phone number on a Tracked item

Post by arty_morty »

I get Tracked items that occassionally have a 'please call 07.... if no answer' etc. I never call, if there's no answer at the door I leave a 739. I don't see why I should use my own phone for RM business, plus I don't want some stranger having my number. What is RM policy on this?
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

When tracked items first started, the managers in our office used to phone the number to inform the customer that the tracked item would be delivered.
They also would ask where the item could be left if they were not going to be in. This doesnt happen in our office anymore as there are too many tracked
and not enough time to phone every customer.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

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.
