So what have more than 800 managers that aren't now needed been doing at head office apart from :cuppa ?
And less than 800 from elsewhere is less than one per delivery office :wave .

The biggest back-stabber in our office has gone to earlies from night shift. Expect some sh*t to be thrown at his colleagues as he used to be the union rep for Unite and sold his colleagues down the river for night shift manager's job. Apparently he has been temporarily promoted to mail centre manager's job, expect some cr@p to come out of it but only for managers. We have job security for 5 years but after that they will come for us as well, so better not laugh at these spineless yes-men at this time. Unite is a rubbish union, has been so for a long time. Don't expect much from them.
