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.

They missed out certain job requirements, skills and personal attributes that applicants need.

As with most RM written documents, bears no resemblence to reality.
I'm sure we could come up with a more realistic version between us!

Managing individual and team performance - Use bullying and harrasment
Pipeline performance - ignore yorks of undelivered packets
Customer interface - hide in office or disappear to a "meeting"
Asset management - blame someone else
Planning - use the headless chicken technique
Planning and development of specific initiatives - blindly obey instructions from higher up the food chain

My business qualifications say just those things. Perhaps I should go for this position? When i was a manager in the horse racing world, I was liked and respected oh times have changed being a manager, or is it just RM? :Very Happy

"Provide support to front line managers through mentoring and one-to-one coaching - encouraging and supporting them to do likewise with their delivery team members.

Support individual delivery team members through mentoring and one-to-one coaching activity."


Is this a joke book?
