from the Whistle Blowing thread

'If your call relates to a security matter you may wish to contact the Security Helpdesk on 020 7239 6655.'

I presume that's the IB if I have misunderstood the thread then try the rm website or wait until someone posts the number / email

Yes, you're right. That's the phone number for IB.

Can I phone that number next time the line manager adjusts my OT total downwards - or are they only interested in `real` dishonesty.
I would love to give it a go :nana :nana .

That happens in my office too. You sign for one thing but when the timesheets come round for signing you seem to lose half an hour. The reason? A bloke on light duties is prepping part of the walk. This isn't mentioned until you have to sign for the hours.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Does the Postal Services Bill carry any protection for IB?
I would imagine something like that would be subbed out to some private security firm after privatisation... :neutral:

what about if you KNOW he is falsifying figures on mail failures and d2d returns, would they be interested. after all, it IS fraud. possibly for personal gain, ie promotion, but they probably condone that.

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.

I had to attend an interview with IB a while back in my role as a rep. I got the impression from the questions they were asking the 'interviewee' they were looking for a managers name........if you know what I mean. I don't know how these 'interviews' are normally conducted but it was very informal and appeared to be just a fact finding exercise.
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

If he is reducing your overtime hours to enhance his bonus, is that not regarded as fraud.
