Only for areas 'Who haven't grown a pair'
Some areas who have 'Just one' have it down to 130
Then there's them who 'Have a pair' and have it at 75
This ain't no baseball game, you get only one chance and you blew it.

Since then the office has been on the up and working really well. The new DOM has introduced a new management culture and has invested more man hours into the office. The days of confrontation and management bullying seem over and the relationship between management and staff are as good as I've seen it.
I am so pleased that it is turning good for an office,it is a surprise when a manager that may have been less than best for an office is to go, so that new life and air can be bought into an office where there has been so much unhappiness.Keep letting us know how it goes,some of us have got to start again and are not looking forward to it,maybe because we will still have to argue that what they are doing is not going to be a good thing.
The previous DOM was incompetent, ignorant and a bully, our line managers just followed his management style thinking it was normal . Within the first week of the new guy stepping in, he instructed the line managers to talk to us politely and not to apply pressure on staff who needed to cut off. Then it was "any problems and my office doors always open". We also get a "good Morning" and a "thank you". A little respect goes a long way.
Leigh On sea is 10 miles away from my office, probably used the same planner as benfleet do, who also is 5 miles away and the revision is not working, cannot wait for ours to start in 10-15 weeks

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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

In my opinion the Barrow-in-Furness office should come off the "offices with failing revision" list, all seems well.

Aberdeen Kittybrewster AB24-25 is apparently doing well, went in early January, even with the 2 massive postings (Every DP, and I mean every single one, think census) there has been in the past 3 weeks.
