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.

Don't take it personally happy.
The crazy thing is some of the worst abuses of power seem to be in offices where reps have been in position for a relatively long time.
You have to ask yourself what kind of members allow their rep to take the piss for years without at least trying to do something about it.
I can see the point with HQ...that place is by invitation only.....but the local rep position is the easiest for the membership to influence.
