Anyone done this?
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.

I'll send mine tomorrow, too busy sending email to information commisions (the senior manager at our work place thinks its "none of our business" who the data controller is so we can FOI requests to them) then sending emails to ACAS cause again our senior manager thinks its acceptable to have a work place with no drinking water in it for a day and a half, then limited water after that. Seems filling the tea urn with tap water from a toilet (the building isn't occupied or the taps run for most of the year) tap is acceptable too. If the urn was actually capable of boiling water it might not be a concern lol.

Anyway time to unwind and eat my crap food as not been able to go decent foodshopping yet due to no money. I mind when i used to be able to "treat" myself after a bad shift or that woith ordering out saving me having to cook, anyway mustn't moan too much got to know my station in life now.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are some journalists already working undercover, especially as the late push for recruits has seen a lapse in security checks. If I was in a senior position in RM I would be having sleepless nights. :left:

Ha! If they had a conscience they wouldn't sleep as it is.
