HIGH VIS AND SEAT BELTS

Post by taylorwhite »

IS NOT WEARING A HIGH VISIBILITY JACKET A CODE OF CONDUCT?
IS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT A CODE OF CONDUCT?

Does anybody know where I can obtain Royal Mail Company policies from?

I Know you can receive 3 points for not wearing a seat belt, would a code of conduct follow?

regards Taylor

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.

The SSOW for a HCT stipulates a hi-viz must be worn.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

We have rules.
You either follow them or you don't.
I don't give a s**t.

I probably would if i was your rep and you were all tears and snotters because your job was on the line for being a twat.
I'd probably be seriously pissed off. :cuppa

Tears and snotters about losing a job,don't judge everybody as being weak and spineless some off us have pride,I have been places and done things that would have you screaming for your mother,so think before you make comments like that,no doubt the mods will take your side,but you were the one who reduced this topic to having a go at me.
