Think that's the attitude in our office. We had revisions which messed up most of the duties and most posties are now just cutting off everyday leaving loops of mail on frames. When there's 2 or 3 days worth, staff from other sections are brought in to try and mop up until it builds up again. It's all done to cut costs and boost the profits of Royal Mail who ironically are saying that they are looking to improve quality of service. :left:

Wherever we are from, we have some sort of neighbourhood groups on social media.
We should all post anonymously pictures of frames not cleared in our local DO just to show the Royal Mail customers what a shamble it is and encourage people to complain to their MPs.
Then maybe things will change.
4 new recruits starting next week, all of them under 20 years old. Let’s just see how long they last.
Would rather be indoors with Tesco earning the same money. They will soon learn.

Okay let's play this out.
You trash the company.
Customers see exactly how s**t we are.
We lose even more customers.
The bosses get sacked with big payoffs and f**k off to ruin another company, laughing all the way to the bank. .
The company is in an even worse financial position.
The board recruit more managers with bigger bonuses who have to recover the business from an even worse financial position.
The only way to do that is reduce costs by screwing our terms and conditions even harder.
Yes let's call out these toerags, that'll show them. :cuppa

You worry too much ,a postie is already at the bottom of the pile ,poor wage jobs like ours is 2 a penny,as for linos they will never have a job as well paid ,they are failed postmen with no qualifications,so i'll carry on calling them out,i already tell all my customers how s--t we are but then again they already know lol,the job and company are finished just another s--t courier the quicker you get use to it the better.

Turning a blind eye to what Royal Mail are currently doing is wrong. They might have got away with failing the mail during covid (when we made record profits) and through industrial action; but now it is different. There is no reason why the company should continue to de-prioritise letters and if the public are continually missing hospital appointments and bank cards, do you think that they will continue to use Royal Mail in the future? Royal Mail are still paying lip service to improving the quality of service but losing any business like this spells disaster for thousands of jobs - jobs that a trade union is supposed to protect.

We all know that letters are in decline but that's not a valid excuse for RM to keep failing mail when they still receive shed loads of revenue and our jobs are dependant on it. This my performance app and everything else is just a diversion and if anything we should be striving to improve the letters business as it's our only unique selling point. And I really don't know how many times I have to explain the financial position of the company. The company have made huge profits through 'rightsizing' the business and will make even more in future with our reduced terms and cons.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Obviously they are in financial difficulty.

The shareholders and senior management aren't making enough free money for themselves off the back of all those "idiot posties/customers." :left:
