They were merely forced to research it, in the interests of fairness and accuracy, in order that they might pass informed comment upon the original post.

(That's enough bullsh*t to be getting on with.)

its clash that starts it, just got mine out of the re-cycle box to read a story about a lying twat driving 400 miles to find a stuffed toy.

I have heard that they are going to have an NVQ for coming in early, working for free and doing mega absorbtion. I won't qualify, my DOM says I'm not a team player! :shock:

Have a heart Clash, he's only a project manager for RM. He needs Eyeore since he has no friends.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.

Do they go on courses to learn how to speak like that ?
Sadly yes and at great expense to the business

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.

I think there has been a mistake. Isn't the title of this article meant to be - The propaganda mag?!

So why have some MCs and RDCs agreed with Union backing that you can drag 2 Yorks at a time ? :shock: :chuckle
