It can be lost.
It can be stolen.
Can't think of any others.
Just as screwed either way if he was the last to sign for it.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If the customer is denying receiving it which they must be otherwise it isn't "missing" then that's still...lost.

Not enough information to say that, either way it does seem excessive to suspend someone over it, unless there's more to the story :hmmmm

I'm not disagreeing with you arrogant one. :left:
It now seems to be normal to suspend anyone for anything in RM.
Luckily it wouldn't and doesn't happen in our D.O.
The last person suspended in my D.O. was a manager.
All i'm saying is lost is lost,whether you shoved it through the wrong door or dropped it on the street it's still lost and how it got lost is unlikely to have much bearing on the case unless you were saving children from a burning fire when it dropped out of your bag.

Why, everybody can make that mistake. It's a mistake and should be dealt with via the conduct code and not using suspension. Sad times when the managers can get away with abusing their powers and the union don't step in argue the point.

It seems to have gone mad. :neutral:
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

I thought I had lost a special recently and immediately informed my DIM. I was suspended from my walk whilst they investigated the matter further. Turns out I was never given the damn thing in the first place, the reg cage had sent it to the front desk instead thinking it had been 739ed. Ultimately I put myself in that position because I was given a large bundle of specials and didn't check them all. Still many thought it was harsh to be suspended from my walk in such a way. Personally I was quite pleased as it was a damn cold, miserable day outside and I got to spend the day indoors in the warm! :nana
Union what Union? Do we have a union?
