Don't this just grate you.
Why is it we get our arses kicked if we make a genuine mistake and they can willfull delay what and when they want.
And NO i'm not interested in the 'For operational' reasons either!
A lot of our work is now being delayed by 24hrs because we're on the vans,we've started to cut off now and they know we're going to do it
but they make no provisions for it and are trying to break us by getting us to do it the next day.
Which we do,but we're cutting off again the next day and so on.
2nd class stuff,already late was pulled out of the frames today down my way.
One rule for them..........

Willful delay by Managers
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.

Just about every month we get a mass mailing for the local council, a magazine, which goes to every single house on every single walk. It's marked up with a 2.
When these come in, the manager usually says to us, two days for delivery. Almost everytime, these are not delivered in the two days and it can take up to a week to get rid of them. If they are especially large, even longer than that. I hear that some offices automicatically get one week to deliver. Can RM treat these items, marked as second class, as mailsort?
We have this position with Sky magazines also, and have done since these started coming first class. There are targets for first and second class mail which RM can ignore at will. Is this what is meant by operational reasons? Effectly, Royal takes on contracts which it cannot meet and has no real intention of meeting. We cannot deliver these bulky items of mail without additional resources (most notably pouch boxes) -- then there are the catalogues!
The term willful delay is used by RM to describe a postman who fails to deliver (as little as one item of mail). What term would the regulator, who is empowered to protect the universal service obligation and the integrity of first and second class mail, use to describe RM's behaviour. Well none -- they never even know out about it!
