Why would you wish him to have more work good luck to him if he going at a normal pace even the smaller rounds are enough these days.
More work? He spends an hour at the bookies. He takes his pda home so he can log out without coming back to office. He spends half an hour in the canteen in the morning and makes a point of it.

It’s people like him that ruin it for others.
& your manager doesn’t clock all this but you do?

Surely if he was so blatant the screws would be all over him,especially in the current workplace climate
They are all over it. It’s been going on for years.
Now they can’t hide it because it’s clear as day.
What happens when somebody else covers the duty?
They get sent out with more work or if all mail is delivered they sit in the want putting junk mail together.

Just did a quick google search of “Postman sacked…”

Stories of postmen leaving old people lying in the snow because they were ‘too tired’ to help.
Postman sticking gum to a garden ornament.
Postman signing for parcels and leaving them in bins.
Another postie leaving an oap lying on ground.
Not wearing seatbelt.
Being found with 130 parcels in his attic.

…..

But yeah the idea a postman spends time in a bookies during shift is far fetched….

Why is it a problem to be used as a performance tool?

Why would they have the tool and not use it at all?

Only a tool would be actively encouraging managers to micro manage us while they sit on their ar$es doing feck all once we have left the office.

Especially as postie's know that the business are lapsing more and more duties and putting more postie's under pressure to complete.

Why would anyone advocate that we should be more like Amazon or any of the other gig employers is beyond me.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

How do the people in the callers office see him go home with his pda? Does he live over the road from it? 30 mins in the canteen is allowed?

Because his pda isn’t left in the callers office with the rest of them and magically appears in the morning needing a new battery.

And yes 30 mins is allowed…. In the canteen…. Not at the bookies

I cannot never put myself up for management with a lot of the staff we have... I don't always get on with my managers and I have taken grievance before. One of my managers put in a shift in the 4 hours indoors before we go out - they are mostly doing their job.
For the money and the bonuses that COMs get I would expect them to put in a shift, especially if they are giving us all extra. But the fact is they bugger all most of the time. And if they were really doing their job they would make sure the deliveries get done instead of trying to save on the budget by allowing mail to be brought back on a daily basis - even if it means going out and getting it delivered themselves. Is it really too much to ask??

I'm intrigued though, what was your grievance about with management??

TBF he has started coming back to the office at least now. At least most days. He knows eyes are on him.

They ‘see’ that his pda is no where to be seen but reappears with him in the morning. And yes, he never used to take his lunch break in the canteen but now makes a point of it. Still goes to the bookies.
