Seems like a bit of a smokescreen heaping responsibility on this individual manager. The true picture is likely to be far more sinister. Individual sickness cases are discussed daily with area managers,I doubt very much that this manager acted on his own initiative. area managers report daily to senior management, the climate is controlled from the very top. It's just a numbers game to the money men,win some lose some they will work the percentages , their PR will ooze the supportive caring great place to work window dressing while they stick the knife in and twist it.

So i guess there quite willing to spend circa £20,000 just to whittle the numbers down ..Some might not even try to fight them so they offset that as it's the end figure thats important to them.
As i have told this to a member of Atos, they ask me but where is the "evidence " that this is the case? All i say is you just need to look around at the people who have been paid of or sacked etc, and there answer is but royal mail prob had a very good reason in doing so!!! :arrrghhh do you think each manager from each office is told to say example, Mr Bloggs we want you to get rid of 10 full-timers before the year is out ? Do we really know this for sure? :d'oh!

Also may i say All the very best of luck to the postie winning them! enjoy your retirement , you deserve it.

Least we forget their original offer at the tribunal was for the paltry sum of £5,000 plus re-instatement for a period of 6 weeks.

MURDERERS. Need to dispose of a body? Simply parcel it up and post it to yourself via DHL. You will never see it again.
