What are managers doing when they....

Post by norris9 »

What are managers doing when they walk around the office at the end of the day with a pen and paper in hand looking at each frame?

Anyone noticed this? often when I come back from my round I see them doing this...

I have assumed it's them ticking off which rounds have been cleared? if not, what are they doing?

I gave up long ago trying to make sense of Royal Mail managerial nonsense.

Wait, what....managers are still present when you get back??
The answer is no I haven't seen my manager doing this at the end of my shift as they went home hours ago

ok - it is what I thought it was. I was curious....

As they always say "tell us if you bring something back"..... yet they go round at the end of the day checking what's come back anyway.

Your managers have learned how to write?? Wow, where do you work???
At the end of the day you are just postmen [sic].You deserve nothing more than what's been offered and probably a lot less.

I'm guessing that they're counting which DPs still have mail for writing their end of shift report

They are supposedly checking the frames to see if anything has come back that somebody hasn’t told them they are bringing back. Most of the bosses at ours will do it 1st thing the next morning as they have disappeared too early to do it on the actual day.
