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.

There must be a formula somewhere that demonstrates the correlation between overspend and the underestimation of mail volumes.

Correct mail recording = properly assigned budget = raised staffing levels = enjoyable job.

...............or something equally unachievable.

If we were all given the correct budget for each office then there wouldn't be a problem would there? :dance

I've only got one word to say "propaganda"!

Its like the scenario with mail volumes that are down by 9 or 10%.

Show us the evidence then we might believe you. ;liar

Even then, only if it is from an independant auditor - if it's given to me from RM, civil serpants, or Govt, I'll tell them to poke it!
