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.

New Entrant can shadow. These individuals will receive the daily non-school
training allowance for each day they are assisting with the Delivery Coaching.

The problem is im not the work place coach!! We don't have one, and ive asked for it to be put on the notice board for people to put in for, we are still waiting. A standin manager asked me to train the newbie, I said I would but wantpaying which he said I would. However our regular manager who is fairly new to our office and has been on hols has returned and said I wouldn't be paid as im not the coach. The newbie should of been put with someone to shadow and not train. WTF is the point in that, they need training properly, there is also no longer a daily training allowance there is only a payment made to a coach. Today before I was told I wouldn't be paid she asked me to finish off a walk for him and get it bagged up for him which I did and sent him on his way armed with a map and instructions etc, I was the last one in as I then had to finish my own round off, I left the office at 10.30. Why did she think it was ok for me to stay behind and sort him out and then told me I wouldn't be paid???

As Gerady said,also before your screw says that the agreement is 5 years old and is out of date,2 things...
1:Can he produce a newer one.
2:The piste de resistance,ok then it's 5 years old,P&M is 4 years old,lets scrap that as well,no more lapsing and flexing!
