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.

Now it's
"Do you like the Team GB Olympics kit?
Yes
No
I don't care so long as we win lots of medals" :sad:
How pathetic, and why not the option "I don't care and I don't care if we win any medals or not" :Very Happy

Roll on next month's Courier and a bit of a typo will give us all the results :
Courier was out this week. Your favourite section to read was :
Moya's view - 93%
Latest news - 5%
Letterbox - 5%
Competitions - 5%
I don't read Courier - minus 8% ( because 8% of employees read it twice because it's so good ) :Very Happy

Unfortunately I missed the poll. Did just have a look at MRM and one thing I did look at was about ordering uniform online.
Most of the ordering will be carried out by the employee, so managers are freed up to focus on their core job, and staff can order new items from their allocation as and when they need them

What is a managers core job? apart from drinking coffee, watching tv via iplayer on PC, bullying staff and how much time are the staff going to waste trying to order uniform only to be told you can't have anymore uniform this year.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Next time they won't do that poll on line but a form printed in Courier to be sent in, thus avoiding the 93% the other 7% divided by 100 actually looking quite positive :Very Happy True what they say about, lies damned lies and statistics. :crazy:
