Heraldmoth - I know guys who work their asses of 'to time' and I know guys who do sweat FA and claim O/T while doing half the work the other guy does. Who should take pride in their work there??
I do a fair days work for a fair days pay and go home on time. Will be doing the same at Christmas. No-one in 10 years has once questioned my commitment or performance.
If you want the O/T and are prepared to work hard for it, fair play to you. I've got no problem at all with that approach. Make hay while you can. But don't criticise those who aren't interested. We owe this company NOTHING. If it impacts on the public its RM managements problem NOT ours!

You do you, and let me and the Foxel do us :thumbup

:Applause Well said.

I have Pride in my work and I do what I'm paid to do, then I go home and have pride in being a Husband and a father. Not sure why that bothers you.

Self indulgent drivel, I’m guessing you also voted yes and left us in this place
I'm advocating not being walked over by management and you think that makes me a yes voter. :roll:
Nothing to do with management it’s about having pride in your work and serving the public whom we let down last year. Anyone not wanting to work just step off and take a back seat, I’ll personally clear all and claim the OT as per
What a kind offer, thank you herodmoth, I didn’t mind working as hard as usual but now you’re offering to do it for me, well I won’t look a git horse in the mouth.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Well that’s essentially what ppl are doing, leaving what they don’t do for someone more capable to clear. The gift horse you talk about is surely being payed 500 quid a week to do what is hard but not back breaking work

In my experience, people more likely to clear, in poorly run offices, are those who start early for free, run around cutting corners and cutting up rounds. It shouldn’t need that to happen for rounds to clear.

That's what I thought too, surely no one will disagree on those two points especially the 2nd one

My question always is how do u know how long a duty will take, who knows who will or won’t be in or what traffic will be like on the roads..it’s a case of I’ll take whatever they want but I’ll be back on time.

Only delivered tracked items for the last 3 days, and brought some of them back as we've run out of time. All mail still sat in the frame.
Happy days.

Same here and I've brought Tracked items back to the office but my PDA still says 100% Tracked items delivered?? If RM are using our PDA data as a basis for the bonus then the figures are obviously false?
The whole thing is a shambles,but union turning blind eye to everything,where on earth are they?
Same place last time you asked.....
