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.

The office near me were told by the DOM (Monday) that although RM applied for the Saturday, they have not yet made up their minds as to what to do. Is the manager just thick or has the decision been made now? :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

On the 28th Dec at midnight going into the Tuesday is it possible that RM will have night shifts in at midnight at any office that has night operations?
