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.

From FB...
it's being rolled out on a region by region basis. NW started the initiative, NE and Midlands now moving through the scoping demand stage. I think it is something you should raise through your Regional Learning Committee also.

From the Facebook link i have posted...
We're looking to set up a meeting with the provider to flush out details such as, how widely it is available (and whether similar is available in Scotland, N Ireland & Wales), whether there is any limit to the numbers they can put through or, conversely, minimum numbers per location etc. While we're getting that information, Steve and Sally's suggestion that you raise your interest with your ULRs or Regional Learning Committees is a good one and will help us move things forward.
