Banker Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 3 hours ago, Fred the shred said: A disallusioned postman told me a couple of years ago that there were about two managers to each postman whether the situation has changed I do not know but apparently the service has been top heavy with management for years. When online shopping became popular the Post Office had the perfect opportunity to capture all or most of the new business, they were all set up for it but they were not proactive and other people were. My letter post, mostly circulars, is delivered by a very cheerful postman in a lovely new van now the van stops at every house it has mail for I thought it perhaps was a temporary measure but no this has been going on for a while now, a separate van delivers parcels. Going green 🤣 ? A disillusioned postman will say anything, probably whining because he’d been told to do more to pre him going to golf or his second job at 1pm when paid until 3. Why people just make stories up without checking any facts is laughable 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 So now you have added postman to the teachers you constantly have a go at obviously you were neither when you were employed, I wonder who will be next ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not true. Same postie delivers mail and parcels. Only parcel delivery is business in and around Strand st, athol st etc…. furthermore, the new parcel machine which was bought in order to attract new business has not created any new business. IOMPO are putting all their eggs in the hope of an all island Amazon contract. also staff have and are being laid off due to the loss of the parcel force contract. When I say staff I mean posties, not any administration staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 That is sad, there are deffo two different vans that visit our neighbourhood. a lady usually delivers the parcels. Perhaps it depends which neck of the woods you live in but she has never delivered letters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it particularly attractive or sexy? Big boobs? Can the public and business owners see it and be impressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believed they’d take delivery of Manx Indy parcels, sort them then send them back to Manx Indy. Heads are up their arse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my contact there the sorting machine was purchased to save considerable staff costs eg 4/5 staff spending hours sorting parcels by hand when the machine does it for them, this also ties in with press release, don’t recall anything saying it’s to get new business but why let facts get in the way of your storytelling!
