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.

You can't.
He hasn't done anything "wrong"...legally.
And unless it makes the papers. :hmmmm ..and causes a stink he hasn't brought the business into disrepute.
Grassing would only open you up to charges of making a malicious accusation. :neutral:

If my mother had lied to get a colleague sacked then yes - I would grass her up as well.

For the record,CWU HQ called us on here loonies,and Dave Ward a week ago said we were too militant on this site.

Don't get all bent out of shape with me Tracey.
There are better/safer ways to put information out there in the intertwitterfacebook world than using the grassing up method if you use your head is all i'm saying.

As for Wardy's comment...that's about as dumb as they come.
The union is going to need all the militant it can scrape together(which isn't much) in the next 18 months and he thinks we're too militant. :left:
I nearly fell of my chair laughing at that one. :cuppa

Dear Moya,
it has been brought to my attention that Mr. XXX a manger at XXXX has been caught at customs with a car full of duty free cigarettes. It is my understanding that he was hoping to resell them in the DO to make a profit.
Is this sort of behaviour acceptable to you?
Personally I agree with those that regard tax avoidance as morally repugnant.
Do you?

Yours Sincerely
CCR (G72)

Dear Moya, that's an idea.

Fish tank you say there are other ways of getting information out there, could you elaborate this point?

Thanks.
No I'm not being paranoid, they really are out to get me.

The problem with the dear Moya thing is you can't expect them to investigate on the strength of one email,i would imagine they get loads of accusations per day about management and even if they do they are going to want real evidence,not hearsay and they are going to want name,rank and serial number.
To be honest,on the balance of risk against anything being done,bearing in mind that he hasn't broken the law or brought the company into disrepute the safe advice would be to drop it.
I know that's not popular with the loony militants but it's just a personal opinion. :neutral:

Well if nothing else it is worth filing it away with names and dates, maybe I can use it in the future when he decides to aim his guns at me again.

We need to protect ourselves from personal victimisation any way we can.

Customs would of just given him a fine, taken the fags and tell him not to do it again. He's lucky he did'nt have his car confiscated as they have a habit of doing that at Dover. They will tag him and the car on their computer so next time he does go across the channel he will be pulled up and searched. I doubt RM will be interested.
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
