Moved to MC forum.
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.

All the planned closures were published and nw/nw div voiced there opposition! some useless div bloke went in all the papers saying how bad it was and that the union would stop them!!!!! the union didnt... RM put out the prefernce and a lot took VR and EVR the rest either went to manchester or will go to warrington. even liverpool and crewe will still close and still the union will not stop it. RM did a prefernce exercise which div said we shouldn't do, lucky we did because we would have had no input into what we wanted.
