Our office is missing from any of the lists but is knee deep…
On Christmas Eve we were told to clear all packets and Christmas cards only and although every frame in the office was full of other mail, it was reported clear. I believe this was done on the orders of the high and mighty above so it was probably done across the area..
Fraud is it not..

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.

Our office was on the list. Now it isn’t. Yet after delivery today the office had mail in almost every frame and hundreds and hundreds of tracked items not yet delivered. As a pair, we never even managed to deliver one full round today. Double Mail and double packs. The amount of Christmas cards and flats today was more than any day on the Christmas run up. Madness. :crazy:

My office isn’t on the naughty list but I can tell you some people haven’t had letters since before 20 December embarrassing delivering Christmas cards now and probably for another week or so

We are not on the list but there's at least a dozen duties that have not gone out today, all covid related.

One or two staff seem to be rebelling by not wearing facemasks in the office because they have to van share
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

I'm trying to find the news article but was reading that from next week, some key workers will have mandatory days covid tests. That could end up with an entire office (DO) or an entire shift (MC or RDC) off work

I have not seen the term mandatory used in reports, also i didn't see postal workers in the list of workers being offered the test kits

Should be mandatory now.
Gut tested positive the day before new year at my office.
His partner, been van sharing all that week, only found out today why he was off.
Not a happy bunny.
Management really don't give a toss about our welfare.

We are key workers again :left: The boss man already told us it’s business as normal and Covid was no excuse anymore.
