Leah-Lacie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 So if you couldnt work for 4 days last week and you got to work for them to tell you you had to work 28 hours extra (assuming 7 hours per day) the week after you would be pleased about it? Employers cant do that as the snow couldnt be helped. Do you work? i do work but Im quite thankfully on maternity leave at this moment in time. I wasn't thinking of the hours when i made that comment tbh, more of the money they would probably be happy at the chance of making up x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendelspans Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Last year Woodseats delivery lost several of my Christmas present, which is why I ordered early. Now it looks as though they won't arrive. I am really disappointed with Royal Mail yet again!! Were they recorded or special delivery ? Surely you could claim ?

AverageGuy Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Whatever they do to clear this backlog is pointless unless they get out and deliver the stuff. To think that parcels are simply sat rotting in a depot somewhere, sorted or not is very depressing. This snow was bad, the worst I have ever seen but still it appears that there isn't much of a contingency in place. Surely at some point thay have to bite the bullet, agree to compensate for injuies and get this moving at a pace. For heavens sake even if they send out 2 at a time for H&S, in vans that is better than nothing. All we want to see is a concerted effort, and if one is already going on then communicate it somehow. A list of postcode updates on the webpage would help, rather than a blanket notice about adverse weather in Scotland and other areas. I dont want to see RM privatised but I would gladly pay more to get parcels through weather like this. The private couriers are managing ok.

I am S12 and normally use Pitt Lane to collect parcels at least. Thinking of going down early in the morning with some ID if nothing has turned up when I get home. Cant think of what else to do, just seems like they have forgotten about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
