The question"Who are managers accountable to"has been a source of anger for me also.I constantly see managers not doing there job properly and getting away with it,where if it were us we would get suspended probably.Because of this managers are running round like little Hitlers knowing they are untouchable.Something needs to be done and quick.

gone tell your girlfriend to ring the phone in the managers office if she needs to speak to you while you are indoors - if they don't want you on your mobile see how they like it if you use their phone every time she needs you :Very Happy 2 or 3 times a morning and they soon won't mind you using your mobile :nana

congrats by the way and good luck when the rugrat arrives

We were once told that if we answer our mobiles or have a cuppa while were prepping, we had to take that time off our break.

I think it's fair that you aren't allowed to use your phone while at work. You're there to work, not talk on the phone.

I might shock you here but I tend to agree - when its busy.

We have had occasion when IPS was rammed and one of the lads spent 10 minutes on the phone, and it was with his bookie :crazy: .

There are occasions when I think people should be allowed to answer a phone and partner being pregnant is one, as is being a sole carer or parent. But when others are working and your just chatting with no purpose :no no . Leave that till your break or others are not relying on your help. :hmmmm

However, its also not up to us to manage it, leave that to the "Supervisors" :dance

Agreed, Certain PHG in our office talks on her phone at the expense of customers, it gives our office the impression of being lazy which most of the walkmen aren't. Common sense should prevail here, if its the occasional quick call, there shouldn't be an issue, its just the piss takers who do it all the time, Not fair on those who graft. :no no

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.
