Reason For Lapsing...
Reason for lapsing today is because 'David Smith' has phoned in sick. Obviously not the correct name, but naming me on a notice board at the entrance of the office on the first day of sick strikes me as a little bit off? I should add I gave over 24hours notice.

Re: Reason For Lapsing...
Dignity and respect,tell whoever wrote it how you fell about your name being put up.
Its an old trick designed to show "power"
And can lead to
Bullying/stress/alienation and the rest.
Nip it in the bud by having a chat,they might not have thought it through?

While as a rule depending on the office size your colleagues would know you were sick,as said putting it on a notice board is a big no no,your rep if he/she was there should not of allowed it.
As per many times said on here,the manager is a cock.

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.

Office relatively small, and everyone knew it was me who was off. It was actually a colleague who informed me, and couldn't believe it had been done. Been there quite a few years now and I've not seen anything like it before.

Trying a bit of "Peer Pressure", totally out of order!
Your Manager thinks your colleagues are going to do the Bullying for him and basically "Force" you back to work by making you feel guilty. If they're real friends & colleagues they'll support you, if they're not...then they're not worth worrying about.
If they're that upset about the lapsing tell the manager they can't do it in their time, and he'll have to Manage it. You never know he might even drag his ass out of the office and deliver some himself.

Seeing as he was in a chatty informative mood, You could always tell him how reassuring it was to lie in your pit knowing that your valued colleagues were ensuring the mail was delivered. Also that they did it off their own bat without any undue pressure or intimidation, underhand tactics or downright barefaced lies from management was gratifying. Seeing as said management are no doubt subject to extreme temptation to keep to their budget so their bonus will cover the cost of a new kitchen hopefully leading to an begrudgingly angry handjob from their fat ugly pigs of wives, you appreciate their high moral standards in the face of such adversity and didn't enjoy a second of the time you spent rolled in a duvet in the arms of Morpheus.

Morpheus has the ability to take any human form and appear in dreams. His true semblance is that of a winged daemon

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
