Everything is pro rata. You work the same or harder and get less.

We worked no harder, so it was free money at the end of the day. Was the smoothest Christmas I have worked in over 20 years.

Sweet FA for us as expected. We never had any chance as there was no way that all the DOs in the area were going to clear each week

The “rankings” which have suddenly now been pinned up on the office noticeboard tell us our office massively missed the target in every week. None of the offices in our region listed in our leaderboard qualified, though some smaller offices did come close.maybe next year!

It was massively unfair for those in mail centres to be honest. How you can be penalised for other office’s performances is beyond me, but Royal Mail.

It all depended on how many staff / how many agency workers you had.... if Royal Mail didn't supply your office with enough staff then you were doomed from the start.

It's such an unfair system...

What ever happened to " team " , the workers united , a solid front and comrades lets stick together? All the usual bullshit you get when you throw away money on useless strikes. We get shafted in the end as always.

Obvs we all got nothing. Yet another own goal from RM as well. Another tool to sink morale by setting a completely unrealistic goal highlighting how shafted and understaffed your office really is. Start time, Finish time.

the incentive scheme was based on the hours worked over the qualifying period. it was not pro-rata.
