Hi
Do you ever feel like talking to a manager is similar in many ways to banging your head againt a wall?
So, just out of interest what would you do?
Talk to a manager for an hour or bang you head against a wall for an hour?

Mind you, I thought I was talking to a manager the other day for about half an hour, he didn't say a word, just stood there, par for the course, I thought.
Then, somebody came along and said, "put your bleedin' glasses on 'arry, that's the cleaners mop your talking to."

it is a shocker, every office is run by the posties.
Gaffers spend so much of their time telling us if u have any suggestions.
Then when u do, they throw it back in ur face because it means doin somet.
Joke, how do they justify thier salary.
I would love to hear from any managers on this front.
Are they uncder the same sort of pressure we are, time wise?

What about adding banging his head against the wall?

Of course this is what im trying to understand.
But why do managers read from some paper, handed down from some idiot above them.
Surely they must realise that this is ****.
So where has the common sense gone?

No point you'll get more sense aiming a kick at where he talks from as his brain is in the same place - his arse.

Some round here say "Sorry Boss did not catch what you said" when someone farts.

This was a toughie, in my office you cant find a manager after 12-30 ish even though the majority of the drivers and walking posties are still on the street, i raised it umpteen times and got nowhere so i chose the headbanger

You're right, mate........Even I could see the mop's potential to rise far in the Royal Fail hierarchy.

I wonder if the managers have an off switch in their trousers, you start to talk at them, the hand goes in the pocket and suddenly they are unaware of you!

No! It's not a switch - its a hole.
