unagreed tests
I think the clue is in the name.I will follow agreements till the cows come home,but when something that's not agreed starts up,that's a no no.
A little more up to date guidance for reps from HQ on how to deal with this s**t would be helpful.
Some managers are wetting themselves over the figures the IWT throws out. :roll:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

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.

In 14 years that I done the job I had 1 prep test which I just couldn't be arsed to "try". I got 18 out of 31 with all the threats. Think it was a thread on here sometime ago, the one that if you fail a second time and the third then you get sacked. Sod all came of the second test or anything else. Wouldn't worry unless there's a new agenda.
