6 weeks 'till more uniform...

Post by MartinMail »

Started in October 2007, got the basic uniform 3 polos, 2 shirts, 2 trousers etc. However, as the winter is getting nearer and nearer (well in Glasgow it's here) I phoned the uniform line, to get the winter jacket, boots etc. Only for some stuck-up, office snob to tell me I had to wait a couple of weeks. I know a couple weeks isn't too bad, but it's almost "-1" each morning here, almost snowing today with gail-force winds. Disgrace! One load of St Rollox that is...


Balls to the lot of 'em...
:lfo :cfo

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.
