There is a manager on the site,can't rem who he was though so not sure if he's still active,that said once a week he went out on a walk picked by the staff.
This of course was pre P&L :whistle
So if he's reading this,well?

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.

A lot of businesses do this to ensure their managers stay in touch with what is going on on the shop floor.
It is a really simple idea.
It might actually lead to a massive improvement in IR in Royal Mail if they adopted it.
So they won't.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

We've had a few reserve managers that actually took out Deliveries. They got Mega Respect from the Staff for doing it. One Manager covered Three Duties in a day, admittedly they were "Streamed" but at least he had a go! Trouble with these idiots is they don't realise that Respect has to be Earned...it's not simply awarded with the job title! :no no

Yes but how many managers use a park and loop trolley when they do cut offs etc?
The general method is to go out in own cars with a bag on your bag!!!!! :roll:

Most of our managers don't last long enough to do one day on each walk in the office, although all of the ones we have had have gone out on delivery at some point. I think it would be useful for managers to go and spend time in other functions ie MC managers go work in DO and DO managers go and work in MC. This might help us acutally work together instead of against each other all the time as seems to be the case.
