Well looking on the bright side I guess whatever the RM management throw at you it must seem pretty insignificant compared to your past troubles. Glad you made a full recovery, RM can go feck themselves 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Jimmy Carr`s laugh wrote:I was diagnosed with testicular cancer the week before xmas 2005- my nad swelled up to the size of a 5lb bag of spuds whilst prepping - went to hospital, doc went mad said I shuda gone earlier blah blah blah , told me I had to wait for an emergency opsaid id come within a month of dying !! Sent in sick note, no probs. Rep came round for a chat, said not to worry about work etc - Had my op in feb 2006. Went back to work march, did 2 weeks or therabouts and had a week off to get married on easter monday. The following friday had a cancer check up and was told it hadnt gone ,it had gone into my lungs and id need chemo!
Had the chemo, took 9 weeks. 3 days a week in hospital, longest 9 weeks of my life , couldnt eat , kept spewing, 12 hours a day 3 days a week on a drip , whilst they poisened my soul, to make me better. No immune system whatsoever, so I was told I couldnt go out incase I got a cold and it killed me. Not a word from work.
When the chemo was over, I was fit for nothing, lost all my hair, so made duncan goodhew look hairycouldnt stand up, nevermind work. Got a letter saying they wanted me in for light duties
![]()
So I managed to get a hurse to work to see the dom, and he said he understood etc but as I was just sat at home, I could just sit in work and throw rounds off etc . As I lay on the floor (as I couldnt sit up I was that weak) I said I couldnt as I was very ill still. And he said RM had stood by me and helped me with the treatmentand now it was time to show them some good will and come back to work
That was when my heart stopped and they had to ring an ambulance get my heart going again ! Whilst I was out cold they tried to issue me with a stage 3 RTU

I eventually went back 8 months later![]()
My 5 year appointment is in 2 weeks and then im officially all clear![]()
The moral of the story, dont let the barstewards grind you down
Mate i am so so glad your in the clear, jesus what an ordeal
Reading your post shite the life out of me and kinds puts things i am worrying about into perspective.
My sister inlaw is half way through chemo at the moment.
Bunch of tossers at RM
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: Can you work when your dead ??
Judging by the smell of some of the great unwashed this morning in our stuffy office I think somebody has already died!
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!

New Rules for Employment
* Sickness & Related Leave: We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
* Surgery: Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you will need all your organs. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.
* Bereavement Leave: This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives, or coworkers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases, where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early, provided your share of the work in done enough.
* Your Own Death: This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two weeks notice as it is your duty to train your replacement.
* Restroom Use: Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. For instance, all employees whose names begin with "A" will go from 8:00 to 8:10, employees whose names begin with "B" will go from 8:10 to 8:20 and so on. If you're unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies, employees may swap their time with a coworker. Both employees' supervisors must approve, in writing, this exchange. In addition, there is now a strict 3-minute limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract and the stall door will open.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternations, or input should be directed elsewhere.
Have a nice week. The management
