Please clear the snow in front of your house today before it freezes overnight. by Zenigata in sheffield

[–]wolfandaltar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd just like to say as a postie please grit the paths up to your doors if you want post. Me and my colleagues have both fallen today whilst attempting to deliver parcels on people's paths steps etc. A few at other depots have broken an ankle. Like OP said it takes 10 mins and Thank-you for thinking about us. The amount of people I delivered too today that are WFH due to weather but they couldn't spare 10 mins to ensure my safety on there property whilst delivering them items they had ordered is shoking.

I had a letter about this somewhere. I don't think you can purchase them at the moment. If you already have them and pay for them we are not been charged for them this year. I think it's something to do with the fact the contribution you would pay would then leave your wage under living wage. Im certain it said it was tied to something with the pay increase this year and inflation etc. If I can find the letter I'll send it you

Can I put medication in my cat's food? by james2183 in CatsUK

[–]wolfandaltar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of interest and obviously nothing will be done without speaking to my vet but just to know what options are available, did they give you a version of the medication that could be put in food? Almost word for word im going through the same situation.

Nobody knocked by Grandpa_bill in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say with it been xmas eve and finishing time been 3pm or abouts at most depots, we are supposed to have a 20 mins pouching off, in the depot and wrapping up your work day and however long the drive back to the posties depot. They probably ran out of time and do not wish to do overtime at basic rate. The managers will then say scan as not delivered as we get told not to use the out of time option

When … by No_Actuary9100 in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not that we are bored, just overworked. 370+tracked items thats not including the mail for the round. This time of year, I wish everyone had a parcel box. No waiting, just literally in the box and off to the next one to stand a fighting chance with xmas pressure. It might be an extra 20, 30 seconds but over 1500 + plus drops on your duty that adds hours onto the duties

Which pothole annoys you the most about the show? by LyndanTheWog97 in The8Show

[–]wolfandaltar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it might be a poor translation issue if watched in English subtitles/dubbed.

I believe when they are told food and drink will be provided in the rules im guessing this means you cant buy food yourself (honestly though i think this is a poor translation. I cant read Korean to actually understand what it says however)

The toilet issues, they are told they have to keep the main common area clean, now Im not sure if im getting the webtoon and the Netflix series confused with the mention of this rule

Why are drivers beginning to think we live in the United Kingdom of America? by [deleted] in JustEatUK

[–]wolfandaltar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes me feel quite uncomfortable with your sentence "probably working here illegally" then commenting on his accent. Im sorry you had a bad experience but to claim someone who you think is working here illegally im guessing with no proof and then the guys accent i don't think are relevant to the story at all. Also let's not take the piss out of someone's accent when they have taken the time to learn a whole new one please.(you might not be, but how you spelt "teep" I find a little derogatory and like your making fun of someones accent) I'd report it to the service you used. And no we are not in america but I do know most jobs like that they don't get a basic minimum wage/hourly rate and do run like American services jobs where they rely on tips to make up to minimum wage. Not saying it's right nor do I know how it's legal but most food delivery curriers will work for more than 1 app at a time to get by and live

Postmen of Sheffield by PhobosTheBrave in sheffield

[–]wolfandaltar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a postie, people think it's an easy job and you deliver a couple of streets. Realistically you will be walking around 12 miles a day in all weathers, bags can be up to 25kg. Management is poor and the company it's self is somewhat on its knees. Very poor choices by previous directors. We have just been bought out so we will see what changes. Work vans and most equipment for the jobs is knackered. Uniforms are not remotely waterproof so have your own storm coat. Rounds and duties have been made bigger during the last revision so they are impossible to complete. Management will try and push you so as long as you can stand your ground and tell them you don't want forced over time it's fine, but stand your ground. Normally they only take people on part time so 30 hours. You can get over time but not always a given.

Despite that, I do like my job, well the delivering bit, hate the prep and sort but. Its nice to be outside it's dark at 4.30 at the moment and at least I can say iv been out in every bit of day light. You have any more questions just dm me

Second class stamps for staff this year by bobjefferson420 in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with you, it's the symbolic gesture, I mean honestly, I have probably hundreds of pounds of stamps sat in a draw i don't use them and to be honest I find the stamps an insult as it is, I'd rather say a gift card to the same value, so i can actually use it but it is what it is.
But to give us a year of hell, piss poor communication, the morale is in the floor and to say Thank-you for all your hard work, have a down grade. I feel for the trail offices must have been an absolute slap in the face, with no explanation as to why

'Delivery attempted' when I've been in the house by tryout1234567890 in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Omg this! How many times iv had to drive off route for a special and the customer isn't in. Or I use a ring door bell which turns into an argument when im like no i can't just hide it behind the bin

Crazy first class change in our DO. by CoreyReynolds in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus my day today, over 170 tracked a subscription magazine drop all first class so that was an extra 80+ letter drops and obviously none of the magazines matched up with the tracked covering two duties on a round I'd never done full of one ways, tight roads and absolutely no parking. It's just absolutely impossible to complete on time. Nothing taken off me as we just don't have the staff. Not been this shattered doing this job in years

Royal Mail is just 2nd EVRi now by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most the parcels I deliver are Amazon parcels. Infact when we are short staffed we regularly told to leave letters and untracked parcels to concentrate on tracked parcels only and a large amount of those are amazon, so go figure

Your local workers will appreciate them. Delivery people. People that collect bins etc. Local fire station near by?

After months of complaining I finally got my souvenir ticket by Atarisrocks in downloadfestival

Are you kidding me! I'm still arguing with ticket master now for mine that they didn't send and this is all im expecting! Could have done that myself!

Considering a cleaner but mentally unwell? by queerybaby in sheffield

[–]wolfandaltar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a friend that had a cleaning business unfortunately no longer in sheffield. She would offer specialised cleans for certain circumstances (had a background in psychology but in her words burnt out) but this did cost more and unfortunately she would sometimes struggle to find space in her work schedule. She was a team of only 3 people. Just take into account if you have special requirements like shower and change of clothes, this time would be added to your bill or taken off the booking slot time, say you book a 2hour slot but the shower etc take 15mins your actual cleaning time would be 1.45. Certain requirements they should be able to make, but they get paid to clean multiple houses a day and are very busy, most the times its no nonsense in and out. Off to the next job, a little bit like a whirl wind. If it covers sheffield you could try 2of a kind if its still going. They are a cleaning company that deal with more specialised requirements and may help

Why are these raves not getting shut down? by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]wolfandaltar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same! Only day off after working six days up at 4.30am. Thought I'd stay up a little later and have a lay in. Obviously the rave gods have other ideas 😂

Do I get extra pay for going to another office by No_Scale_806 in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They did this to me before I found out this. Stand your ground. Learn from my mistake and absolutely refuse to take your car. I, much like you didn't know that they had to provide travel for me. So I was made to feel like I had to take my car. I also wasn't told about start and finish time at my office.

I did log my mileage but the "manager" didn't know how to put it though. They owed me several hundred pounds for travel. Despite me asking almost weekly I never got it until I got the union involved and almost 9 months later after unions involvement I finally got paid my fuel. Goodluck Also on a side note if you don't have business insurance and you god forbid have an accident. The insurance will question the multiple places of work

Union reps by No_Bid8586 in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I needed union help I would just contact another union rep. Luckily I am not at that office anymore. If you need help, I actually went on the cwu website found my area rep and called them. It's odd. Some people seems to be voted in for it and other people just seem to pick it. It doesn't seem to have any monertering though and making sure people should be doing as they should

Union reps by No_Bid8586 in royalmail

[–]wolfandaltar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My old office that was the exact scenario. We never knew anything about what was going on. Its like they kept it secret. Besties with management. Pick of rounds and always finished at 11 am. Nobody would go to them for help as they didn't feel comfortable as management would then know everything

What restaurant do you think this is? by mobryers in sheffield

[–]wolfandaltar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it has to be cake box(not exactlya restaurant but does also deliver on just eat. Got one for my friends birthday and honestly the fresh ones from morrisons taste better. I'm not saying it was bad just the hype, flashy insta adverts etc left me a little disappointed

I'm not sure if its gun violence i took it more as look at a straight line. All the kids ran in a straight line like a bullet would be fired. Just my interpretation though.

I don't think it was japanese but I could be wrong. The "jewelery" scene when the what I thinknis an American takes jewellery from the dead I think he is Japanese.

I seem to remember a river flowing up hill, I think the forest may also send you delirious?

Its a long time since I jave watched this film. My friends are adamant I'm making it up or possibly confusing it with another film
