Wolves, I could point to dozens of different areas in my office that could be run more efficiently, from our waste collection management system to allowances that are paid out to workers who no longer perform that task but keep the allowance under reserved rights.
I'm not sure that the majority of shareholders would be particularly bothered as most shareholders are not ethical as they just want to return a quick profit. The problem with the PLC world is that everyone wants to make a profit or wants something for nothing. It's human nature.
AB appreciate your comments. Agree all are not lazy but the new ones coming in are being trained by the said few and are adopting their laziness. Working time coaches pinching £30 per week for what? I think investors need to know the shambles of the company before investing so my rant is relevant.
Sorry Broch, misunderstood, I ve already mentioned, that I think hes in the wrong job. Dont know how anyone could go to work every day hating it so much. Must be a bundle of fun for his colleagues.
My post was aimed at Wolves, he reckons he’s the hardest working postie in the West Midlands, but something doesn’t add up?????
All delivery spans are 4 to 4-30 in my office Broch. I was not having a go at part timers , I was stating to Wolves postie that if drivers should earn more for skills , then part timers would be penalised. Our part timers tie up and go due to length of deliveries. They dont prep , sort , put d2ds in , do kill offs or redirection. I was sticking up for part timers.
Posted in wrong thread lol
Dynamo I am on 25hrs contract 5 hrs a day and can prep as full timers paid to do it cannot be arsed I can kill off I do own d2ds do redirections and cv19 collection also. Plus many others and still get done!!!!!!!!! How’s that?”
You must have a really easy duty if you can do all that within your attendance span.
According to figures from Auto IWT- prep the duty going to take you on a 600dp frame around 45-50 , tie down 15-20 min, collect SD’s, keys, PDA 10mins, load van and do van checks 20mins, mandatory break on a 5hr duty is 30mins, drive to 1st dp 10mins, return 10mins, sorts 739 items, return PDA 10mins. That leaves just around 2hrs 30 mins on delivery!!!!!!!!
Any jobs going in your office as I want a transfer!
I don’t know any office that works on an outdoor delivery span of anything less than 4hr 30mins. in my sector.
Something doesn’t add up?????
Wolves you're brainwashed by the capitalist elite. Why shouldn't the working man have it easy?
Wolves,
While I mirror the majority of what you say, not everyone high on a seniority list is anywhere near to being lazy. Top guy (seniority wise )in my office is one of the most hardest / consistent working guys I have seen and a few of his senior colleagues also carry that mentality.
That said . He is far outweighed (3 to 1) with some senior staff who feel they have entitlement . I appreciate the depth of your comment but don’t tarnish everyone in the list as being bone idle Because in there are still a few cracking workers . But I get where you are coming from.
Cheers .
Service in Royal Mail is a joke as it breeds laziness
Dynamo I am on 25hrs contract 5 hrs a day and can prep as full timers paid to do it cannot be arsed I can kill off I do own d2ds do redirections and cv19 collection also. Plus many others and still get done!!!!!!!!! How’s that?
Dynamo what I’m saying is this!!!!! If you are a non driver and can’t take your walk and you refuse to pair a duty with a driver then no pay rise. Drivers are being screwed mate
Dynamo all part timers as you put it do deal with all that you say we don’t and drive also. Some in our office for 30 years don’t drive and cannot sort. It’s called service lmfao but can ride a redundant bike lmfao joke!!!!!!!
So what your saying is most of the part timers should be on less money , due to having less skills. They dont have the knowledge to sort, they dont prep mail or d2ds , the dont deal with br mail , covid collections , redirection, kill offs etc , but do drive. If royal mail would like to pay for non drivers to take tests then that's fine . You seem to forget that most posties were employed when bikes were the main way of delivering mail.
Wolves, I'm not sure that you can be forced to drive for RM unless those were the Ts&Cs when you joined so I'm guessing that if you joined within the last 10 years then you would probably have needed a full driving license and would therefore be expected to drive?
I can see your point but why are the "non-drivers" given a duty that they can't possibly complete anyway? Surely that is a management issue?
I would agree with a higher pay band for different skill sets. In processing, the machine operators get paid an extra allowance for machine cleaning and I would agree that the machine operator role should attract an extra payment.
so now we have certain posties refusing to go in a van with another(when it suits)and now we have drivers and non drivers but non drivers have a licence and refuse to use it.......(for the company)... fair enough but then cannot take oversize parcels which is part of the duty...why beacause they want to screw us over... workmates as well as the company that pays them..... next payrise imho should be based on skills and drivers awarded more than non drivers.... fkn joke and oli& ispy i await your replies....
