My partners on leave, gave me a newish new starter for the week, nice lad, but boy why are they so frightened to take stuff back? I told him to stop bang on last letter, head back to the van, any mail & tracked go back, I had to go looking for him, he was bricking it, I’ve worked out if you take tracked back, they get the afternoon staff to deliver them, they even sometimes do a bit of mail
Interesting regarding the tracked.
In our DO bringing any tracked back is a big no no. We have had multiple briefings about it.
Bringing the occasional odd one back on a busy day of customer collections and specials may be acceptable but somedays it's hard to judge work loads.

In my office, we are horse whipped for bringing back Tracked. This is because they no longer have random people doing a bit of overtime delivering LATs on an afternoon. The DPR drivers don’t add odd parcels into their route. They might say that they’ll deliver your returned Tracked parcels but when you come in the next day, they didn’t deliver them.
’You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.’
Well I resigned this afternoon, it was accepted and I leave on Friday so my day actually got better.
Good luck from me too, going by what I recall from some of your posts you were unlucky and dropped in an office with even shitter than average management, have you got a job lined up ?

No sadly no job lined up. I just can't deal with the bullying comments and poor management (including asking me to be dishonest) so I'll wait out for another job. Pretty sure they aren't allowed to let me leave in just 2 days but we'll see what the union doesn't do about anything.
Lazy colleagues using their seniority to get out of ‘working’ are up there with the worst of them aren’t they?
Equally, lazy new starts are an absolute joke aren't they? Being given their own walks when we have 10 and 15 year posties still stuck on reserve duties.

I wouldn’t know because that hasn’t happened at our DO. New starts are usually thrown to the wolves and expected to get on with things.
Luckily our DO is mainly made up of people willing to work together as a team, but we have the odd one or two that would happily do as little work as possible.

I have a theory on this, NEST pension contributions by the RM are 4% of pay and start after 3 months, at the 12 month point you transfer to the Occupational pension if you want to, RM pay 13.6% of pay into that. I'll just leave that thought hanging...... but if the new joiners are persistently forced out with unachievable rounds and on less pay and benefits than legacy then they are going to leave and RM wins by not having to find the extra 9% to pay into the pension.

Mine is demolish the entire building as best you can (employees) & build it back up with inferior materials (new contracts).
I don’t doubt the new employees don’t work hard but at a retention rate of around 20% after three months the quality of the building going up is shite!
Add the orders from above that 15-20% of mail needs to be failed & the formula for a successful business is long gone!
Rogue managers indeed, most don’t know what the word means
Some of these Age Verification items are getting ridiculous. I went to order an audio cable last night and at checkout it said it would be sent RM T48 AV. WHY?
I should have gone ahead because I really want to see if the AV procedure has been properly coded. Will it reject a three-digit age or a DOB prior to 1900? I have to get creative with my contempt.
