revision cockup

Post by eastie »

since our revision 6 months ago it has been blatently clear that a few rounds are finishing well ahead of all the others.
Some have next to no packets , full of pensioners and less mail than others whilst others can have 5 sacks of packets.
One of the postmen at my office who lives on my walk is home before I am even halfway and it makes the planning process a laughing stock.
The Dom's couldnt give a s**t about the easy rounds where the posties go home early but bully and harrass the unlucky ones that have the monster walksthat had extra put on and told to speed up. :arrrghhh
Now I'm not slow and never cut off before P/L but somethings wrong when someone can finish their easy round and do my 2 rows of cut off before I'm even finished. :shock:
He gets 4 hours O/T just because the planner made his round too easy. You mention it to the DOM.......not interested as sitting on the computer bidding on ebay :no no

Sounds exactly like my office unfortunately! :sad:

Managers far too busy bullying and harassing those working to time to even consider making the walks fairer! :arrrghhh
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

same in every office
those with cushy duties get left alone and score or even do OT within their time.
those on oversized walks struggle and get grief to go with it

Eastie,without going through all your posts,how did the revision get voted in?
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.
