Managers:How low can you get.

Post by **POSTMAN** » 10 Jul 2007, 18:43

Guy at an office we share the building with has just lost his brother.
The area Manager stated that he could only get the day off for the funeral if he could cover his walk.
Needless to say it was sorted by our rep after a lot of running around and phone calls ect

To say we were gobsmaked is an understatement.
To say we then got angry about it is putting it midly.

Condolences to the person involved.

But no feelings at all for the Area Manager. Obviously never had a "human" experience.

Surely to God the bare minimum would be the day off for the funeral. And a week off compassinate leave wouldnt be asking too much, would it?

a colleague of mine was on leave and was due in on thursday morning. he rang up on the weds morning to say his mother had been diagnosed as terminally ill with cancer,whilst he was abroad. he asked the dum for a couple of days spl leave and was told "no problem,as long as you get a note off the hospital doctor to confirming your mothers illness !!!" WORKING FOR THIS FIRM IS BEYOND BELIEF AT TIMES!!! regards dongash opg macclesfield sk (100% scabfree, for now)

It's funny when they ask for stuff like that; funny the fact they can't find what YOU want when YOU need it. Such as a holiday form, or something important, like bits out of your record. These DOM's have to prove to their managers why people are off, its all about budgets and nothing about people.

They couldn't get any lower than that, POSTMAN.

Some managers were born w*****s , and w*****s they'll remain for the rest of their days.

Unfortunately for us.

JUST GET DOWN TO YOUR GP AND GET HIM TO SIGN YOU OFF WITH DEPRESSION OR STRESS. MY MUM DIED BACK IN 2000, THEN IT WAS 'TAKE AS LONG AS YOU NEED'. I CAME BACK NEXT DAY COZ WORKING TOOK MY MIND OF THE PAIN, AND THE JOB WAS WORTH DOING, IT DIDNT KILL YOU MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. AND YOU HAD TIME TO TALK TO MATES. NOW . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . WELL YOU ALL KNOW THE REST.

When my dad died, I was told by a screw I was entitled to three days, but found out it was a week. Recently a screws dad passed away (fine union man he was too) and the screw got three weeks leave.

like rocky says he should have offered compassionate leave the sick twisted f****r.
Area managers are heartless b******s thats how they get on in life by backstabbing other people and
not giving a damn about anybody but their fat ass selves.

Condolances to the postman, ROCKY is right you are entitled to special leave, but i think its 3 days and only if your arranging the funeral, he should have just told the b***ard he was going sick with stress...UNITY IS STRENGTH.
