So a van each then?

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.

So what are they going to do with the stockpile of RM vans that have been sitting waiting at various sites around the country for the last couple of years and what about all the money spent on them and trying to make the revision work, with planners, managers travelling allowances ect, ect....

here's an idea, lets tell the workers that the collegue shares are worthless now

It's got f**k all to do with "getting on" or the size of the vans or whether it's working elsewhere.
There are no savings for RM in van share and trolley's so they are backtracking as fast as they can.

One question...If the CWU had came to you and said "We are increasing the delivery span to 4.5-5hrs without any way of easing the weight on delivery issues...would you have bought it or would you be calling them a bunch of no good sell-out bastards.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Isn't it obvious to their employers that RM top brass are incompetent?
The 3 year Business Transformation Agreement has gone tits up - why would anyone let them negotiate another one?
Don't they have to answer to anyone?
