We had the video, obviously you missed the point GM management don't, can't bully posties :whistle RM does not tolerate it or so the video said :crazy: :crazy:
Not one example in that video was of management bullying, how ironic as at a rough guess I would think that 70%+ of B&H cases are against management......
I'm a bully if I go a little over the top with a bit of banter, but as happens in our office a manager can make someone who is DDA registered life a misery nearly every day but that goes unpunished even after B&H charges were comprehensively upheld against the manager he has to endure this bullying daily...... Take B&H seriously my A..e :no no :no no :whistle :whistle

Why was he not given instant dismissal. Surely this is gross misconduct and warrants the ultimate sanction?

RM are very crafty when it comes to bullying. They repeatedly say that 'it's not tolerated' and yet countless posties can tell you stories where not only is it tolerated, the perp (usually a manager) goes unpunished. What they should be saying (if they really were serious) is that they have a 'zero tolerance policy' this would mean that anyone found guilty of B&H would be automatically dismissed. Actions speak louder than words.

Come on lads :roll: :roll: ..... Dismissal, the manager only had 13 out of 15 B&H charges upheld against him by an appeal manager, mind they did recomend loads of things which the manager should do, re training, stop bullying the individual etc......Of course he has ignored their recomendations :no no, surely that's punishment enough for a manager.
Any way its not as if the guy who was and still is being bullied has much wrong with him, he only has crones disease and has had a cancerous tumour removed recently( neither of which he had when he started with RM 15 years ago), I don't know how he got his DDA :roll: :roll:

I put in a grievance against the same manager for some jumped up charge he conduct coded me for (I was refused B&H by HR @ Sheffield as the B&H was done within a conduct code procedure and this can only be a grievance according to them, even though I quoted the definition of bullying from the English dictionary as I was 1."being treated differently to others" and 2."being conspired against", it was only a grievance they said). Once again 5 out of 6 charges against the manager were upheld by the appeal manager who was disgusted how I had been treated, but he only made recomendations yet again which the manager is free and will ignore :no no :no no

Take B&H serious....... I don't think so...... Perhaps if some poor individual takes their own life in desperation like a Birmingham postie did some years ago they will treat B&H seriously.....
