Grow some balls, your doing extra for free, your managers are getting a bonus. Would you lapse the blokes walk next to you while he sits around doing nothing but getting the pay, no..so why do it for management.

almost laughable if it wasnt so stupid, we are doing absorbtion in our office, we are told we must do our pick up first which can be a quarter of a job, then if we run out of time we must cut off on our own walks, so much for customer service..

That is different,i'm talking about mail being delayed in the interest of savings by the cut offs.

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.
