This absorbtion crap

Post by shimmyrule »

Every boss will try and pull the wool, well we had a guy visit our office, and our dom got a bollockin for telling folk, regardless if we were busy or not, that we had to do absorbtion.
Well, as of next week, its on from mon-fri-for 12 weeks, and i wont be doing a single day, cause i dont run round, or make time by not having my break.
You cant complain about jack s**t if you are getting finished your own round plus the extra d to d and absorbing,all this does is make the dums think, yes, we can make savings, cause these fools are still running aboot mad , AND getting finished early, thank you.
some folk will never learn eh

Got it in ours as well,some of us are doing as you should taking meal breaks doing the right bag weights never get back on time yet we have a whole rural section where 85% get back early and not a word is said yet the spinless managers will come after the ones that have to do o/t to compleat the delivery the running staff come in and go early do as they like yet some silly manager said the other day the rural delivery span is longer than us town staff,what a load of boloney :roll: they never want to get of thier backsides and tell them to do sorting or D2D when they get back no they just go,it's staff like this that have made the job what it is and helped to creat the bullying culture in Royal Mail.
