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.

I don't think that RM has anything to with security at the airports it uses. Security is probably handled by whoever owns a particular airport

RM don't do careers, they do jobs...........unless you're headhunted into senior management then that's what you'll have to deal with.

Anyone of us plebs who describes working for RM as ''having a carreer'' is suffering with serious delusions of grandeur!!

ASDA - well Tescos. Check.
Call Centre - 7 years in Customer Complaints. Check.
Warehouse - Picker and Stacker for 3 years. Check.

Yet I still recognise, as do others, that this is a decent job once your out of the office, its the poor management ethos and lack of progression that are the bad points.

This is the BEST job I have ever had, but I am not blind to the drawbacks or that unless you wan't to go into management there is zero career progression.

Could I add as 'bad points' the fact that from beginning to end 'equipment' is 'not fit for purpose'; this includes uniform, frames, office layouts, yard layouts, delivery vehicles and delivery equipment.

'Poor management ethos' ( 'The characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as seen in its beliefs and aspirations.' ) unfortunately means that low-grade 'bullying' is endemic in the offices that I've been placed at in my time with RM.
