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.

Re: Nuneaton Bolthole
I worked there for a few weeks before I "saw where the door was" and quit, I couldn't stand the lies anymore.
People who I worked with were all Angard casuals, the only RM staff on site were Managers, or at lest they had RM "Manager" Hi-Vis.
On my shift there typically 4 of them "on the floor" each shift, very very rarely did any of them actually do any sorting. We had a visit one day from some "Senior RM guy" and then the one RM managers did sort for a couple of hours.
One manager did spent almost all of his time organising the out going Yorks and helping load these onto the trucks, so he was very much more "hand-on".
Place was operating on 3 shifts, all 100% Angard as far as I know.
The people on my shift were in general all very good and worked very hard each day, some days it did seem that the night shift hadn't done that much.
Place was actually a dis-used warehouse, that had had minimal refurbishment before our first day, was not a good place to work, apart from the "normal" Angard abissmal service and support.
On some days we received extra loads from Nottingham, we were told "they can't cope".
Work in my time was 95%+ Amazon packages. In my first week there, some of the Yorks contained Amazon packages that appeared to have already been in the "system" for over 2 weeks.
We were told that there should have been around 50 casuals per shift, on my shift I think the most we ever got to was around 25 on one day, so there was always more than enough to do.
New faces appeared each day and some familiar faces disappeared each day.
If they are struggling there I feel sorry for them, based on my personal experience I don't think the casuals themselves are to blame, undermanning and lack of support are the prime candidates in my opinion.

TBH if there are serious failings in the packets then us on delivery are going to be really screwed, there are so many already that if more come in then the whole system will completely crash
