i've been a postman for 17 years and this is the worst it's been. I have to town sort for 1hr 30 before i then have to prep 2 frames which totals 1250 calls. I prep one for a part timer that comes in at 9am. I then have to deliver my 600 call delivery. Is this the norm in other offices!

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.
