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.

Maybe that should be one of their team building tasks instead of playing snap.

Here's 2 box folders.
How can you guys raise the level of the laptop?

There's a special place in hell for tossers who wear their "manager" hi-vis in an office environment. :left:
Very Good Woody, made me laugh. :Applause Reminds me of a guy in the office that got a bollocking because when he saw the first "Manager" Hi-vis vests he wrote "DONKEY" across the back of his. :cuppa

I want to say a big thank you to all the Brilliant Operational Production Leaders (OPLs) who made it to The Academy this week at such short notice for our first Continuous Improvement Lead session. Thank you!
Not only did we get to focus on 5S, Round by Round boards, Tier boards and Finger Scanning.
We had a little bit of fun doing the Lean Ball Point Simulation and a little bit of networking!
The ball thing video
I look forward to our next OPL forum in 2023.

You lot just keep kidding yourself that you're Training to become better Managers. :roll:

All your doing is paying out to Over-Priced Consultants and "learning" nothing of practical use. :speak to the hand

Try learning some "People Skills", like how to talk to people .... instead of just looking at spreadsheets on your Laptop. Most problems in a workplace can be resolved by simply having a discussion with staff. So many Managers just seem incapable, or unwilling, to interact with their staff. :cuppa

Is it so they can pretend to empathise with us concerning ridiculously low letterboxes?
