They're not all bad.

Post by clashcityrocker »

Poor bloke, having a difficult time stopped off in the pub and got drunk in the middle of his duty on Saturday.
Phoned his lino to tell him he had 3 bags he couldn't complete because he was pished.
3 line managers completed the duty on Saturday afternoon. Didn't tell the DOM.

Credit where credit is due. :Applause :Applause :Applause
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Yeah ok.
You mean they where not also covering their own backs :roll: ,they are probably shite scared of the DOM like in our office the bullying t.urd.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

I can't see anything cynical in this...i must be ill.
They could have dropped him in it and still covered their collective arses.
Now they can't really because they've already covered it up.
I think i'll go with the most likely explanation.....dream sequence.
Watch out for everything going wavy and then wakening up at a dismissal appeal.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Line managers working after 10am on a Saturday, the poor lambs?! That's obviously the temptation when you have a public house assigned as a toilet stop on your walk log sheet; "Ah, go on, just one then..." :cool :dance
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.

Mind you what on earth is the postie thinking of getting drunk half way through his delivery. I guess he has a drink problem :sad:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
