Royal Mail bosses slammed for using staff website to condemn posties for striking

Comments from Royal Mail bosses have been posted on the the Workplace site, which is usually used for staff updates, and one postal worker told of 'constant bullying, guilt-tripping and pressure from managers for weeks' over the strikes

Royal Mail bosses have been slammed for using a staff website to condemn Britain’s posties for going on strike.

The comments were posted on the Workplace site, which is usually used to send newsletters and other updates to delivery staff.

In one online message, chief executive Simon Thompson says: “Calling strike action at Christmas is terrible for our team’s income and our customers’ presents – that is bah humbug.”

Another claimed there had been an 84% increase in staff turning up for work on strike days, adding: “Thank you for delivering for our customers.”

The messages comes as 115,000 posties began a seven-day walkout on Friday.

The day saw thousands descend on London’s Parliament Square for what the CWU called “the biggest demonstration by posties in living memory.”

One angry postal worker, who can’t be named, claimed: “I had to deal with constant bullying, guilt-tripping and pressure from managers for weeks.

“We’re being blamed constantly and told everything is our fault - staff confidence is at an all-time low.”

The CWU union said: “It’s sickening and alarming to see postal workers being attacked and humiliated by people in such senior positions.”

Royal Mail commented: “We have zero tolerance for bullying or harassment.”

“More than 10,000 Royal Mail colleagues chose to work on the last two days of industrial action.”

:shock:
"Talk is cheap Simon" ..... Otherwise you wouldn't be able to afford it seeing as how you're losing £1M a day ... Boom Boom! :left:

Here's a suggestion to all thosse Posties that feel Bullied & Harrassed by ST on his Company Site Wankspace...... STOP BLOODY USING IT! :hmmmm

I realise a lot of people need their Mobile Phone Fix at least once every two minutes but don't read that company propaganda BS look at pictures of Kittens or whatever your mates having for Dinner :crazy: ... De- Install it, or Delete It, or whatever you've got to do. :pray

Wankspace is just like George Orwell's 1984 "NewsSpeak". Why give this Moron access to your own Private Time/Space?
If you do .... then don't complain when he starts Gaslighting you! :cuppa

People are stupid, I have lost count of the 'can you delete my account so I can't go on it' posts on there.
And then later on, they are back on it moaning about being back on it. :neutral:

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.

Have never been on Workspace, and barely glance at Courier. RM propaganda, pure and simple.

Absolutely hilarious that someone leaked about Workplace to the media 😁😁
To those saying just delete it: you can’t delete it. It’s part of the RM app, so it just sits there whether you like it or not.

Can you not delete the RM App? Never had it, but I assume you've got to intially download it? Sounds like a poisioned chalice to me, but I know what these "App Addicts" are like. :crazy:

Me I'm just "App..athetic"! :cuppa

You could delete the app but then you won’t be able to access your payslips or holiday allowance etc. It’s annoying that you can’t just remove WorkFace.
But they’ve stopped many from accessing it anyway earlier today: they’ve added an ‘accept these terms’ page and the link doesn’t work on certain devices. So some are blocked such as myself 😁😁

Thanks for the explanation :thumbup

I suppose you're either an i phone person, or you're not ? I get my pay explained on a little piece of paper I get Posted through my door every week (keeping Posties in a job). I've got my Holiday Allowance on another piece of paper that the lazy manager has to print off for me (keeping him in a job I suppose :left: ) Whatever floats your boat. I'm surprised that RMs IT isn't up to speed .... what a surprise! :cuppa

Courier’s been going straight on the fire for years. I’ve not opened it since Moya was on page 3
