We used to have a p***y culture at work , dating back to the 60's ; and quite a few instuitionalized people were taking the p*** - then it was stamped on from a very great height . Even the bent union rep who'd have made Jimmy Hoffa look straight , used to be late or duck every Friday after pay day ; too much command & ignore & " cosy " management / union relationships .

One by one , the p***heads were picked off . Sounds like a bit of a zoo that place or a glorified big playground .

RM seems a bit backward in that respect , but that's what you'd expect with that style of personnel management and culture .

I have seen some sights at work from people being bladdered.One guy used to hide cans of special brew in his locker and go and take a swig every half hour,another came in at christmas time climbed on his bench and fell asleep,the manager left him cos he had been out with him and was as kettled himself.And the final one is a cracker one lad at christmas finished his round and his last drop was a pub,so in he went and the landord was buying him drinks as were half his customers who were also in there.He went back to the office steaming at 6pm and asked could he book 4 hours docket for finishing late,the manager told him to f**k off.And to top it off he came in next day and went asleep in the bogs for an hour.This was all a long time ago when it wasnt as bad as it is today.And the chap in the first story died a few years ago from drink aged 40,the second lad is still a postie and the third is retired now.
