:shock: Hmm,even if you get selected, and you are a nice guy, hoping to stay a nice guy, forget it if you are trained the royal mail way!A few weeks as lino, and you turn in to the Incredible hulk!Very sad to say, chancers crawlers, and folks that should have been booted out long ago, given promotion, ahead of the 'nice' guys--at least in our office, and the few good guys who do get through leave the job---which is a shame.

Trouble is we have one manager who i ve known for years and normally his more than ok and good to work with allowing a bit of give and take etc. However over the last couple of weeks since the lapsing came in its been YOU WILL do this and WILL do that :roll: Quite clearly he is being instructed from above, word for word, and i dont think his all that happy doing it but it still makes him a bit of an ARSE to work with which is a shame really :sad:

Operation Tiger was the code name that RM senior management to a 10% cut in hours across the board (excluding management), it was 'exposed' by The Mirror a while ago.
