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.

What a w****r. I've always said it, managers are the least productive element in Royal Mail, always have been, always will be.

This can of thing was passed around various "managers" as a way to get off delivering - Bad back routine, the Dom had it off to a fine tee!

Managers aren't supposed to be out delivering, there should be enough posties to do all the work :nervous

Our manager headed off at 9.30 today on foot with a rather heavy pouch on his back. I guess not all managers are scared of some hard work

Did he take his meal relief before delivering?

We've had several liners at our who have, with great speed and acting skills, developed 'medical conditions' that prevented them from going out delivering when required, and then got the medical notes required to continue as such.

It must be a contagious disease amongst that rank.

He obviously never considered using the weight off the shoulder methods neither then, more the fool him and only got himself to blame if he has crocked his back.

With the conditions of some of these offices DG you'd think there was an epidemic going around - there's hardly a day when i don't get an early morning call asking me to relay the message that they won't be in for whatever reason.
