Unreal aren't they?
I had some experience of someone similar yesterday. See my 'Speechless' thread on this board.

Start of the footie season aint it,i'm guessing there will be many incidences like this up and down the country.

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.

Forgot about that Postie! This will mean :Start of the footie season aint it,i'm guessing there will be many incidences like this up and down the country.
We will start seeing posts from "weak" offices saying "My DOM wants 5 duties out"
or "We are lapsing 6 duties from next week...the union are s**t"
or "my rep talks to my DOM and laughs at us running around like wallys...whats a branch or a union meeting? Who is our area rep? Never met him!"

Nobody misses the early starts....it's the early finishes you miss.60091 wrote:i can't say i miss the early starts
That's why in these 1 to 1 preference exercises the question asked is "How would a later start affect you?"...rather than the more honest question of "How do you feel about finishing in the dark?".
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If we stopped all these stupid local agreements, and sang from the same hymn sheet we would hang together better. I blame Ward and Hayes-overpaid management dummys.Sherpas Rule wrote:Was in on a 4am start today and saw some posties from another division in an hour early boxing in their jobs, nothing new there but the best one was one of them was throwing in the LAPSED job! You come in early to sort the lapsing to make sure it's ready for you to take out later!?
What chance have we got with idiots like this?
