I'd echo going to your GP etc but then you will then be subjected to the weekly ringing up or having to call into the office so the bullyboys can pretend to give a s**t whilst belittling you on one of their Doctor Kildare wellbeing bollocks, which is tediuos for all involved.

If your that pissed off go in an tell them to stick it, your mental health and general wellbeing will improve eventually and you'll wished you'd have done it years ago.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Nah, mention bullying and harassment and they will back off.

Long term think about your financial situation as believe me, when you have no cash to pay for anything then your mental health can be in the gutter.

Good luck

Once in your 50s -60s it's hard to keep up, with what has become a very physical job, plus if you are on a van shared with someone younger and faster, it adds pressure and stress. O and the wear and tear.

I read that people are being questioned as to why they cant complete their rounds and I should imagine in most cases it is because the revision activity had made the round too big to complete in time. However the people who work overtime to complete their oversized rounds are no different. They have been unable to complete to time also, and therefore should be subject to the same questioning as the people who chose to not work over to complete. In my opinion this is victimisation and a grievance should be lodged accordingly against the manager in question.

if youre sick / stressed this is something that has to be taken seriously and could go to the lengths of IHR if RM are unwilling to help you out and you have OH and dr support.

Now a deal could be agreed soon probably worth waiting a few more weeks to get any lump sum that might be included. A £1500 lump sum was one of the proposals so if you leave too soon you could be missing out on £1000 after tax and NI.
