Honouring A/L

Post by Stella102 »

If you have A/L booked by one manager and a new one comes in and says you can't have it due to operational needs what can you do. I was always under the impression that if you have a/l booked and signed on the sheet that it HAD to be honored regardless of the circumstances.

Course they have to honor it,when was it booked...............not that it matters.

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.

Yet another a.sh.le of a manager who has no concept of man management and getting everyone onside and working together. Your holiday has been booked, you have the paperwork confirming this, he is on a loser, tell him to go and do one.
