How much money have RM lost on that lot? :hmmmm
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

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.

Sounds pretty much like GMC, one night last week they failed around 100,000 dsa items (main problem is down to lack of staff......but management wont admit that they have let too many experienced people go on EVR and the like)we were told that with the earlier network arrivals everything would be cushty(ha feckin ha)we are running later than ever so much so that the early shift have to help push mail out the door and often help clear down the machines as well! It's a total f##k up ; there is no way any private company would/could be run in such a way.god help us if private companies show any interest in buying RM because they will see it only as a business and not a service, just a another way to make money THIS MANAGEMENT have taken us to the abyss :crazy:

Today was a nightmare over here, I got 4 trays of sequenced mail (2 trays that run onto each other the 2 single sequenced trays :hmmmm ) so if more is to come in tomorrow then it's going to be great (more streaming for me :chuckle ).

I had four trays of UN sequenced. Never, ever had four full trays before. Masses of flats, packets were normal for a monday though. An hours overtime for me.

And you say TUES is going to be busy :crazy:
