I got a cert and a badge about a year and a half later. :crazy:
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.

A paperweight, with your certificate inside and a pen. It looks ok, but what do I need a paperweight for?
My 10 year service is just past.
Oh, and the usual "Thank you, we'll work you till to drop"

I told the driver who delivered mine to return it to sender. If they can't give out some sort of decent acknowledgement of 10 years service they shouldn't bother. Who wants royal mail crap cluttering up their house? Not me that's for sure.

Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

I refused my 10 year presentation, it was during the Employee Agenda/Way Forward dispute, and I wrote a letter
explaining that I thought that RM's plans would make my working life for the next 10 years worse than my first 10 years.
I recieved a letter in reply from the Mail Centre Manager assuring me that the Way Forward would make things better. ;liar
