Good post, I'm assuming the article refers to posties that have "volunteered" to start after normal duty time to do parcels so RM can save money by using their existing vans.

A headline that states "...afraid to work in the dark...."

"...another employee moans...."

are hardly journalistic turns of phrase that to my mind would endear us to the GP. Can't say I'm surprised from what looks like the Daily Express.

Wouldn't think it's RM authorised - just some journo who's had to do some work late on a Saturday and just lazily scraped off RM chat. Just goes
to show who could be reading what gets put on here though.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

They could do a 8 page spread on the bullying and harassment of the management.

I must admit I do like the title "why posties are afraid of the dark". If the journalist was to venture where I deliver to later on, he might be afraid as well!!
