ordered to remove our pretty stickers?

Post by hairyjack »

Today the management presented us with an e mail from Royal Mail telling us to remove our "save our post " stickers whilst we were on duty. The reason.....we were being politically active which is not allowed!!! Was it only our office or were there more of you?? Are they allowed to do this? :no no

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.
