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.

I'm supposed to start there tonight but only have a provisional offer and as its an hour walk I don't think its worth the risk.

I don't know how many temps are still working at Nottingham MC and how many been sent away because they're not on the list but today (12th Dec) Angard was asking for availability for tomorrow's early shift. Maybe someone's still waiting for a job???

Really strange is this... :crazy:

Chairs/stools is a Royal Mail responsibility. This is one thing you can't blame Angard for. Mind u, if they ran the centre you probably wouldnt have sorting frames either.

Yeah I know, I don't expect Angard to actually provide seating or anything, just something I noticed at Padge Road. Heck, I don't think I've even seen other Angard official personnel other than the ones during induction. Probably a good thing, what ith all the people with dodgy pay packets at the depot.
