Are there any Good Managers

This may seem like a strange question to ask these days but are there any GOOD managers at your office. The reason I ask there are so so so many D**kheads who call themselves mangers(total w**kers that they are) I wonder are any Good and decent ones that you wouldn't mind going the extra bit for.

Sometimes, when we get a relief Manager in from another office, they seem almost human, sadly the longer they
stay, the worse they get, as thet seem to get tarred with the same feathers as the permenant D.O.M.

i'd say that our DOM is quite good and 2 of the 4 others are decent. 1 is good sometimes bad others and one is useless in all aspects of job

Actually we have 1 excellent part time Manager who happens to be female. When you ask for help when its busy she does not put pressure on you to complete and will do her best to find cover. If she cant you know she has tried and accept it, in fact if this happens 98% of the posties wont cut off because we know she has done her best so we go that extra bit for her. Sorting is quicker and easier when she is on and the banter and atmosphere is better. In effect when she is in charge, more work gets done, less are off sick, the place is happier and there is more give and take.

She is in fact the closest I have seen to a Forces gaffer in the Royal Mail and is head and shoulders above the male managers.

Best keeping that one quiet Teebs, otherwise RM senior management will be on the look out for someone else to labotomise

Our line manager is quite good if not a little weak with the loud mouths

. His aproachable, friendly and will make an effort to sort out a problem. He does like to get out of the door early though

No i don't think so no we don't have any good managers in our office,we have jack the lad,sergant major gun polisher(right numpty)who thinks he is still in the army, one that puts the kettle on if there are problems he don't want to deal with,

we have another one who really don't know what he's at and one acting who's only there for the money and if he did'nt do this he ain't gonna have a job anyway,yep i think that about covers it.

Yes!! I know a few, one covers our office occasionally and I've met some more on my travels.

Few and far between but they do exist!

Twenty one managers on the Ops side on one shift. It's a parallel universe, right enough.
