Moving office to a different postcode

Post by mclovin »

Rumours are abound that the powers that be want our D.O moved into a bigger place 25 minutes away by car, to a super D.O, which currently houses 5 postcode areas.

Guess they plan to sell the office/land.

So what compo would we get???

Cant say I'm happy about it, but they'll have to factor in 50 minutes (there/back) of travel time into this revision, which is the only good thing I can see.

Is there anything we, as an office can do???

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.

But five postcode districts isn't uncommon. There's North Tyneside Delivery Office, for example, and quite a few others. :Very Happy
