The boss asks can you work your day off?

How desperate are you?

Really desperate. Not enough bodies to cover the duties.

Ok then. Double time and i will think about it.

Cant do that im afraid.

Thats a shame. See you in a couple of days then.

For some strange reason I don't think i've seen a definite answer on this,someone on here must know.

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.
