RMCtv : Simon 'Eric' Thompson : We have the right amount of electric vans-it's just the chargers that are not in the right-place

sounds like another local office - was due to go all electric - vans arrived - nowhere to plug them in - infrastructure was not ready - so team started using a local Sainsburys to charge them - Sainsbury’s customers complained because they couldn’t charge when shopping - so now our beautiful vans are not being used

Royal Mail management-The gift that keeps on giving
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.
My BFF Clash
The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It's our fault you know as we are dinosaurs and don't want to change. Can't wait for share price to drop below £3 and him to get the boot. Although it will be a shame to not have quite so many Morcomisms.

I don't believe you are doing that, why. It's not down to you to charge their vans they are not ours.Its no wonder they think they can walk all over us, wise up for everyone's sake.

This is genuinely laugh out loud hilarious.

"So now our beautiful vans are not being used..." :left:

You’re telling me. We’ve got about 30 in our office now and about 10 chargers.

Overheard management saying the office isn’t getting any more chargers.

There’s going to be guaranteed fighting between people who finish earlier and people finishing later over who gets to charge their van, considering that we’re still expecting another 20 vans.

Not to mention the fact that once they stop letting us use Diesels completely the people with flat batteries won’t be able to go out.
