Treated like a dog $%&€

Post by Jay78 »

Hi

I worked for RM Meridian Leicester.

Delivered parcels from late July until Mid January, all seemed good until the work started drying up.

A few other colleagues I noticed just didn't come in any more and I heard down the grape vine ppl where being laid off which was understandable as we were there to help with the Christmas rush.

Anyway here goes.....

Around 3 weeks ago, my manager called me into the office for no apparent reason.

When I arrived I was met with 3 mangers staring at me like I messed up. There was 2 large parcels on the desk!

What do you know about these,? They were left in a van on Saturday.

"I don't work on Saturdays and never have, plus the numbering on the parcel wasn't my hand writing plus I use a marker not a pen.

These managers didn't care and said well they were scanned under YOUR NAME and Login details.

Well I don't know as I don't work Saturdays like I just said.

So they all just looked at each other and after about 20 minutes they dismissed me from the office.

As I left the office MY manager followed me and said btw don't come in tomorrow which was a Thursday, Friday or Sunday.

Ok.......


So Monday comes around and I message my manager do you need me in today?

NO and we don't need you anymore......

That's it in a nutshell, they treat you well whilst your working your arse off then make up bs to just get rid of you.

A simple there isn't enough work here now would have suffixed.

Without going into too much detail, boss told him to do something and when the s**t hit the fan denied all knowledge,the moral of the story never trust a boss and always have a witness and never go into an office with one unless you take a representative.

So what this sounds like to me, is that someone used your PDA when it was still logged on as you. This has happened to me before when I was a reserve. Why didn’t the managers realise this is what had happened? Oh yes, because the technology is always right. Not.

Really sorry you were treated like this :(

Happened in our place too someone reported a manager for a misdemeanour and 3 months later stitched up and sacked,another reason unions are not much help.

Sorry for your treatment by those scumbags,its been happening for years in Royal Mail,its only a matter of time before someone targets them if you know what i mean,they can't keep going on like this with a complete disregard for people's lives.
