How many local DOMS and Assistant DOMS would....

[Sci_Dog]

....secure a managerial role OUTSIDE Royal Mail if God forbid there was ever a cull of incapable managers within the company?

[krussel]

One of ours left a few years back to work for a high street electrical store. Lasted 3 weeks, sacked for gross misconduct

0.00005% and thats being generous.

Let's be honest here. The Qualifications required to be a royal mail manager are as follows: Raise your hand and say "I'll have a go"

[steven100]

None but i'm sure these new qualifications Rm have invented will be useful when going for a new job. Just think when applying for a new job

person 1 = MSQ recognised qualification against

person 2 = Degree in Business Management

Who gets selected for interview????

[saru]

Qualities required to be a RM manager....

1) The ability to lie through your teeth

2) The ability to brown nose your superiors

3) The ability to bully your underlings

Any more anyone can think of?

[revilo88]

From all the ones ive ever met, every single one lacks basic communication skills. Never seen such a large group of people so out of their depth.

They have such little contact with customers its unreal, whereas in a large proportion of private sector companies managers tend to deal with a large amount of customers. Imagine a RM manager trying to talk to a customer the way they communicate with us!

[Mercian]

A poster that was up in the depot I work in sums it up nicely

"If at first you don't succeed - become a Royal Mail Manager"

unfortunately it was removed after a few weeks - it took the managers that long to see, read and understand it

I would say, barely a handful of managers in Royal Mail would make it anywhere else.

I worked for Sainsburys in my teen the management training then
was well respected and people walked into other retail jobs.
Difficult to see anyone employing a dom better to say you were in sales or accounts or say you were a driver or postman!

In our office most do not know the rounds. FACT!

Yeah, until a frontal lobotomy can be reversed, most firms wishing to remain solvent, would do well to steer clear of shifty looking characters clutching seedy little CVs highlighting their time as a manager in Royal Fail.
