Why on earth would RMG pay a bonus to anyone other than their hard working managers?
I'll go further.
In my area there is little or no pressure overtime (going over your time), or absence overtime (covering sick etc).
Apart from the chosen few of course.
The order of the day is that if it cannot be done within your scheduled hours, bring it back. Or in the case of 4-5 duties per day, don't even bother. Deliver as many parcels and to hell with the rest.
Now i'm old school. The 1st and 2nd class delivery service has been paid for. I think it's absolutely disgusting that RMG managers can dictate what should or should not be delivered on any given day.
Again, i'll take this further. There are plenty of willing overtime volunteers, but very few are given the time.
So back to the bonus.
It's possible that RMG are conserving money (at the expense of the service we provide to our customers), to actually pay a bonus to the hard working front line staff. Militants, union members and sickos excluded of course.
Apparently parcel traffic is "through the roof". Well, I thought there was a big increase, but nowhere near what some were saying.
While I stand by the visual aspect of my statement, traffic has indeed increased.
Traffic from week 5 this year, compared to week 5 last year has increased by 70% in my office.
In comparison to week 36, mid Christmas, volumes are lower by about 8%.
How much is due to the backlog or people ordering more online, is anybodys guess.
Finally: wolvesposty. You must be the best postie in the world, EVER!!!!!
Unfortunately, your never ending contradiction in your posts, shows the type of person you are.
