Managers joining us on delivery

[bensonhedge]

Tell your managers which loops they can do for you. Preferably the ones with the d2d I would suggest.

Erm this happens every Christmas. Non-ops managers are either out in DOs, on delivery, in calllers offices or sorting in mail centres.

I believe it also applies to non-critical admin staff as well

And don't forget if you can't complete you must ring up a manager.....oh hold on.

I suddenly feel all christmassy!

Don’t forget your lapsing , traffic is down.

Just when you think they couldn't be more incompetent.

Minimal training? That just about sums Royal Mail Management up.

"Pull out all the stops to deliver christmas"

Except come to a reasonable agreement with the workforce. Obviously.

[Dorset Plodder]

STOP PRESS ........ Three Kings coming from the East have been asked to help deliver the backlog of mail ....along with their Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh ....... it's OK they have been cleared to use their own Camels!

They're also asking any shepherds that aren't carrying out essential roles if they can help out as well !

[scoobydo79]

Surely there Union should tell them NOT to do deliveries?

[jbo5066]

I seem to remember their union telling them exactly this a few weeks ago, and at the start of the strikes, not to do postie's work ... Going to be interesting

If this letter is for line managers then it would be better if they stayed in the depot sorting frames while we are out. Right now you can't get everything into your frame and you need to get out and actually deliver. The managers would be better off prepping our frames as much as possible for the following day so we can just come in and bag up.

I'd love for my line manager to go and do my job as then they will actually be made to realise just how tough my round is. Not going to happen though.

Never seen or heard of that.

Neither have I, n I've done 30+ years.

lol there's not as many out there as you think. COMs will likely still be in DOs. Remember this is mainly aimed at non-Ops managers

They won't be at every DO. It will likely be the DO that is closest to them or directed to the nearest one that requires most help. Happens every Christmas. Same with at the peak of absence when Covid cases were high in about Spring 2020 (I think). non-OPS managers were in my local DO delivering walks & and/or just parcel duties. If you don't have a non-Ops manager living within your catchment you'll have never seen them at your unit in your 30+ years. Obviously there are non-Ops managers that will be exempt i.e still working on essential services like Payroll & CPC and other stuff that needs to continue in background.

Folk on here making out as though they've been positioned as the silver bullet to clear the backlog. In fairness though, previous Xmas' they just go in MCs and do sorting or staff callers office or in even stay in & prep walks. A few may go out deliver parcels. Now it will be primarily to deliver parcels
