Only in the world of business is misplacing or losing an item regarded as some sort of crime that has to explained. Losing/misplacing/ items or having a nightmare day where everything you touch seems to turn to s**t are part and parcel of human activity. It is inevitable that someone somewhere will lose a PDA .The fact that you can lose your job for being human says everything about the society we live in. Business first/human second.

Fully understandable. I'm sure if you've got a decent rep and the mangers not one of the many socio paths in Royal mail then your jobs safe but they may put you on a years suspension-two years at the most as for some reason they think some punishment is required and it will focus your mind never to do it again etc.

I wonder if they would discipline someone for losing their trolley? Plenty of vans now without trolleys, and they're not in the office/yard? Is there a market for them?

Not a good reaction from the job and finish brigade and I dont know if management are enforcing them although the CWU rep is telling the members that they must be used which is a surprise i also think it is a phased return of the trolleys to ensure there is not another 2010 style debacle
