What week are we in now?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

i finished service with RM last week after a 5 year stint :Applause

we have been having the "we are skint" routine in our DO for the last 2 or 3 years.

its normaly followed up with more collapsed duties, hours struck off OT sheet and lower morale within the office.

With managers seem to be doing postmans work a lot it probably won't be long before the "team leader" idea resurfaces, rm make's 'em team leaders then their pay drops down to postmans rate + whatever that leadership supplement was worth and no extra bonuses for them

Substitute USPS for RM and there may be something in it.
Substitute your DOM for a cabbage...

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.
