So you are tarring everyone with the same brush.....maybe some arn't genuine but I can assure you the majority are. Do you treat everyone who has gone off sick as pulling a fast one or take each case on its merits?
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

Must be some really bright sparks in your office if this is the case "Status Update >>> Pulled a Sickie Today :)"

... and are these your facebook 'friends' or are you merely making an attempt to check up on them, jobsworth.

I ve seen both good and very bad managers over the years. Personally i think in general they are better trained these days but you will always get bad apples. :hmmmm
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..........

I look at them like football referees - the best ones are the ones you don't see ... and I don;t see many (lucky ?)
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

Since the Attendance Procedure in Royal Mail is relatively draconian compared to other companies and it tends to be applied in a mechanistic manner by most managers i would imagine people dropping off sick every other day means you hardly get the chance to learn their names.
There is very little room for abuse of the Royal Mail Attendance Procedure and i speak from experience of representing members over many years.
I think you may be exaggerating for comic effect....which is fine. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

No Stomproof you are wrong there are never, ever anybody with a genuine medical condition that the DOM and his DR Kildares cohorts couldn't diagnose,treat and find a delivery to do. :roll:
Still it's nice to see an acting manager trawling through peoples Facebook's just for a pat on the back off his `superior` arsewipe. :speak to the hand
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.

Looking at this list and judging by the ones that I have come into contact with things are not about to improve.

An SB told me that he was pleased that some of the 'poorer performing' directors were unplaced, firstly I don't like to see anyone lose their job and secondly I suspect the majority of unplaced directors were actually the only reasonable ones left ... I may be wrong.

I actually think in my office they were a lot worse about 20 years ago,My current line manager is fine always listens to what you have to say and is really helpful with leave and any personal problems at home.
The DOM on the other hand................
