Postman's walks

Post by ronnie1980 »

Staff at the Edinburgh mail centre are being told that the funding for all T&S payments regarding postmans walk
are being taken away,So any person wanting to participate in the London,York and Isle of Man walks
will have to pay for all travel,food'n'drinks and potential over night stays out of their pockets.
Currently staff at the mail centre get just travel expenses paid plus a lieu day when they need it.

Is this happening in other offices around the country or just the Edinburgh mail centre?

Will this affect other events like the chairman's awards?? i doubt it!!!

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.
