Your office

[comeracing]

Have you enough staff in your office .
Ours is dire not enough staff ,plenty of hero's who want to stay out ,thinking they'll get a pat on the back the following day, never get any extra xmas staff , 50 % of mail not going out on mine getting tracked done, and still going well over, what a joke.

Doesn’t pay enough to go over.

CWU gave away our proper overtime rates that’s why the company can have less staff ( less holiday , sick , NI , Pension payments )

So am I reading this correctly?

You’re mocking those who stay out but then say that you yourself are going over?

[hazzeem025]

No not enough staff. Couldn't give a s**t anymore. Start and finish time. R.M is reaping what it has sowed.

'mocking' these people are making a rod for their own backs unfortunately

Maybe they stay out because they need the extra few £££.why do you go over if you hate the job so much...surely not for xmas to get a few tips??

[Mr Rush]

We're fully staffed, finally. Although I heard a cohort of agency chucked it last week which hasn't helped. And just as the packets have exploded... I wonder if the less-than-advertised-hourly-rate made them reconsider if this was worth it.

[Shadedpostie]

Overtime is completely cut, sorting parcels for an hour and a half in the morning so very short on sorting mail and half agency drivers practically useless with them bringing s**t back the next day despite vans nowhere near full. Had one round that had two York's of parcels waiting for them the next morning the other day since one guy just hid them behind the office. There are rounds that haven't been out for weeks. Oh but make sure you take the first class though, basically treating them as extra drop offs, therefore having even less time compared to last year. Doing stuff to my time, but man, this is a colossal f**k up and people need to be fired from the top.

[twoloops]

From the minute I walk in, I find everyone from the lass in the locker, our managers & about 70% of the staff stressed to f**k I love it eat sleep repeat

[norris9]

Well, managers think we should be getting done..... we have 70-80 Tracked parcels a day per round.....

so no, we can't get done in time - that goes without saying.

[kazardaimenu]

Not enough staff. A few agency to help clear parcels but most of it getting pushed on us. Will go over a bit but no point staying out into the night for a pittance.

Or maybe they are reaping what they are planning? Do you think the decline of letters is by chance? They need the takeover and they need the USO change. This is abetted by hiking first class stamp prices and failing the USO daily due to under resourcing of staff, lack of vans, unachievable workload, etc...They need Daniel's parcel lockers because (that's where the next day parcel profit is) and together with the USO stitch up that'll mean carnage of the delivery staff. The only job that is truly safe are the afternoon DPR drivers because they are on new contracts (they want rid of old FT contracts and especially walkers), their parcels don't fit in lockers and they can work Sundays
