The managers suspended in the "massaging of quality of sevice figures"scam have been suspended since June I think.
That is about 5 months and counting.

We had a postie suspended for 5 months for head butting another postie. On full pay, pleaded cause of family problems and under so much stress. Got away with it and both still working at the same delivery office. Its a small office of about 25 and the atmosphere between the 2 is, well not the best!

He assaults another member of staff.It takes Royal Mail 5 months to investigate.He keeps his job and stays in the same unit. :crazy:
Seems it would just be better to by-pass Royal Fail and its ineffective procedures and just involve the police.
