Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

No, the majority couldn't care less about our health or wellbeing. But there are a minority of them who do. I saw a very good ATOS Doctor, last year. He helped me a lot, and was even able to suggest an alternative treatment, that my Doctors hadn't suggested. :hmmmm

However: It's the first, and only, good experience I've had with them. Normally, they try to assess us via telephone consultations. Which is particularly ludicrous, when someone has a muscularskeletal injury (in my case, a back injury). And I can only see it getting worse, as they're gradually phasing out the use of Doctors. In favour of computer programs, operated by untrained fools, who don't know their arse from their elbow! :evil/mad

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

At the end of the day ATOS will always do what's best for those who pay them.
Sometimes that will match with what's best for you...but more often than not it won't.
It's just a matter of when your interests and Royal Mail's interests are the same interests.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
