Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Good find,how things have changed.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Re: panorama 1973
I used to ride a bike like that one when I first started, the brakes hardly ever worked and you used to have to tie the pouch round the handlebar stem, I fell off a couple of times because the bag slipped off the rack, no tray for your pouch in those dayskrussel wrote:Oh a great find

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

This is my first post on the forum and am not familiar with proceedures, I think it would be useful if as many posties as possible watch Panorama's programme tommorow on the basis that information is power but I dont know how to post this info as widely as possible.
Here is a link to the BBC programme information.
