They do a great cover version of the Frank Sinatra classic: The Coffee Song.
I'll get my coat as well
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I personally quite like to see a manager actually doing some hard work for a change! :Very Happy Sure there probably is some kind of rule for how much they are allowed to do but is it really worth picking a fight with management over something that doesnt really effect you too much? not saying your wrong or anything but is it really worth the hassle?

That's fine unless it's your work he's doing and your job he's undermining.

Any manager doing a postmans job is basicly doing hours that a postie should be doing, it is a way of saving hours E.G mangers do 4 hours work in an 8 hour shift 4 hours overtime saved. It affects everyone they are taking money out of peoples pockets, someone on a 25 hour contract with a family to feed could do with that extra 4 hour on there pay slip. Ive been told if they cant get anyone for the over time they are alowed 10 min an hour doing postie work, dont know how true that is.

And yes it is worth picking a fight with managers over it.

CMA told them not to do it as they were basically cutting their own throats.
I don't think anybody noticed the difference.

Sorry if thats the case. In our DO managers only do postmans work when no one else will take it out so no one really loses out.... Just ment you can easily find your self messed around for 'operational needs' for kicking up a fuss! doesnt sound like a battle you could win very easily to me.... As i said iam not condoning it!

That's what you have to do,note everything then show them up.

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.
