It will only last if people keep making the lives of those responsible for it, a misery.

Which authority do we threaten to involve if the screws do nothing about it?

Is it b*llocks

Hand sanitiser and face masks all gone, barriers on the walk sorting frames discarded, night shift staff reduced. More guys wanting to start the early shift/fewer guys starting at dinner time. Many of those full-timers working from home got told to take extra loops winded up going back to their usual shift at their usual start times. And while I understand where the business is coming from to ensure that all staff work their hours that they are paid for, the weird thing is that when I see half a dozen duties with mail and packets still left in, what difference is it really making?

Its clear to me that the health and safety of our colleagues is secondary to the office budget.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

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.
