Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. We will regularly update customers on the offices most impacted here:
3
Nairn DO (IV12)
Manningtree DO (CO7 and CO11)
Units that report three consecutive days of 30% of DPs failing USO gets you on the list and public RM service disruption website. Then you need three consecutive days below 30% to get off the list (well below and back to stable USO)
3 is the second and only prime triangular number, and Gauss proved that every integer is the sum of at most 3 triangular numbers.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Angard, far as I'm aware the offices I work for during Chrismas pressure are unable to use Angard staff at the moment?Londonsburning wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:17Do you mean 'agency' or Angard?

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
There are Angard floating about in our office and have been for a couple of weeks. Agency aren’t allowed to be used during the Pilot so they are using them to make the office seem like it has enough staff for the pilot. They will then withdraw the agency and the pilot will be a shambles because we are understaffed.Londonsburning wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:35OKjimmynailsalive wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:23Angard, far as I'm aware the offices I work for during Chrismas pressure are unable to use Angard staff at the moment?Londonsburning wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:17Do you mean 'agency' or Angard?

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
The local offices all have plenty vacancies and are struggling staff wise but nobody is allowed to go over by more than 30 minutes a day so presume that's why they can't take agency casual staff when all OT seems to be knocked on the head? Load of staff wanting to drop to job share but that's not being allowed either as that would suit me doing 3 days a week and upping hours over Winter.Londonsburning wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:35OKjimmynailsalive wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:23Angard, far as I'm aware the offices I work for during Chrismas pressure are unable to use Angard staff at the moment?Londonsburning wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:17Do you mean 'agency' or Angard?

Take your vacancies, 'job share duties' and 3 day weeks to management mate. Not sure where your argument is coming from but we are all stuck in the same situation.jimmynailsalive wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:41The local offices all have plenty vacancies and are struggling staff wise but nobody is allowed to go over by more than 30 minutes a day so presume that's why they can't take agency casual staff when all OT seems to be knocked on the head?

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
Suppose you have to understand I only want to work casual so not actually working at moment so merely highlighting the offices here are struggling and some are making the list of shame but unable to use Angard floaters.Londonsburning wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025, 19:49Take your vacancies, 'job share duties' and 3 day weeks to management mate.

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
I'm only 10 minutes away from two fairly decent sized offices but I'd only enquired about other DO's using Angard on delivery as they have OT ban and no Angard staff in any office round here even though they are severely understaffed.
It suits me working casual and in no particular hurry to work at the moment but certainly not entertaining a job near minimum wage on 5/6 Saturdays
