Never a bullying forum on here.
You can discuss it in here if you want.

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.

What is clear is that on RMC there are well over 4,900 odd postings which containing the word bullying in them.

One of the problems is the policy of promoting from within.
Line managers are just a step away from being taken back to the front line. They generally despise their staff because they believe they have a foot on the ladder of success and think they are better than the people they are supposed to manage.
I would guess that the poorer the area, the worse the bullying because the fear of demotion is greater.

This culture of bullying is self preserving. Bullies tend to like and promote other bullies.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
