I don't believe them, they bring this up so they won't have to give us our tiny pay rise this year.............bet they still get their though.


ps. As we're still owned by the government then they have to fund us (maybe they should look at the numpties they put in charge).

If they're looking at anything then it would be the distribution network, a big fleet of lorries travelling all over the country.......but I seriously doubt they'd want such a basket case as RM :confused

Surely we're not going to have the two conversations in this thread. :left:
RM no cash and Tescos. :left:

Or could it be... :nervous

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.

we were told a few weeks back that RM had to borrow £200,000 to pay wages.
some seemed shocked but to put it into context it would be like me borrowing £20
full of shite.
