didnt change in our office but i have noticed they have upped the antiy a bit and are tightening the thumb screws.

Managers hardline today....
Our managers this morning were doing off-the-cuff testing of people on IPS...
Just standing behind them, unnannounced, peering at a watch..and declaring it was too slow, interviews tomorrow am supposedly....
I thought tests had to be after informing the postie?
Dunno, don't seem to be letting this go anyway, thought the spirit of the agreement today would have stopped this sort of thing..?
:cfo :cfo :mfo :mfo

Re: managers its as though a switch has turned off
A line Manager was leaning against a sorting frame for at least 20 minutes, I asked him if he was supporting the frame, His reply; "What the fu#k has it got to do with you fu#k off and do your work".
Nothing has changed, any one who thought in their wildest dreams that managers would ever be pleasant or reasonable is sadly deluded.

"Supporting the frame". Id be tempted to make him wear it if he spoke to me like that.the undertaker wrote:A line Manager was leaning against a sorting frame for at least 20 minutes, I asked him if he was supporting the frame, His reply; "What the fu#k has it got to do with you fu#k off and do your work".

I would hope the CWU were a bit to busy to worry about every little argument and dispute across Royal Mail.
