Same as ours, good hard working people just a shell of themselves really letting it get to them, me? I just let it go right over my head and do what I can within my time and that's it hence why there is loads of mail/parcels/tracked around the frame, you have to switch off although it's hard as you have an in built pride mechanism when you've worked there for a long time.

Too many in our office working until 5pm. No parcel backlog and even Royal Mail blindly rejecting period of calm/to call off 23rd, 24th strikes won’t be enough for people to stop doing overtime. After Christmas is out the way, they’ll be a big bombshell in the new year. It’s very obvious.

How does it not sink in to people your whole job is going to turn upside down.

Strikes are pointless if we don’t stick together but as usual at Royal Mail no team ethic & everyone for themselves. No more picking kids up from school at 3pm as we will be pounding the streets until 5pm!
I doubt there's much parcel backlog anywhere as Royal Mail prioritise parcels.... they will make sure they move enough posties off letters and onto parcels wherever required.

The post on the other hand..... it's piling up.

but this is what Royal Mail want.... us to clear 3 or 4 days mail in one go.... it may be that we can only clear half a round of it, but it's still costing them far less to clear than it would if we weren't striking.
This was my walk today , i was dropping weeks worth of letters off, 10-12 etc

As if other posties don’t 🙄🙄

Take your pride and lock it in a box and keep it somewhere safe because the current owners of Royal Mail aren’t reserving special conditions for those who ‘take pride in their job’. They’re out to shaft us all equally. So just remember what pride comes before.
