Keeping all the packets nice and tidy in the DOs, with no extra Christmas staff beyond a leave reserves how do they think it will get delivered. The really maddening things is they sent some delivery posties to our local MC because...... well I am not sure. :neutral: :neutral:

I heard that Amazon were given loads of Yorks, but they were not happy bunnies as they really need RSCs, not Yorks :crazy:

Same as at PE MC...

They've just ordered a load of Tangos for the Sequencing for the iLSM's and LSM's........

They arrived Monday, and by Tuesday night - 40% of them have been "borrowed" for stacking mail on..... :Applause
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

We would do - half the Tea Machines are knackered and the Canteen is now SHUT most of the night, except for when the Agency/Temps go up there to clean the place out!!!

Our office,all the vans are past their sell by date,some have iffy MOTS ,and should not be on the road and if stopped by vosas proably not allowed back on the road.No trollies despite the Company wanting to take the weight off your shoulder.

Lots of buckets though and bins,to catch the rain as it comes through the roof !

Refuse & don't drive them then - you're the one who is responsible for the vehicle.
