They have a very bad reputation. A deserved reputation too. They seem to want to fill every workplace in Britain with the sick and dying.
We have had as many as 6 people hobbling about the office on so-called light duties, when ideally they should have been at home recuperating.
At least 3 to my knowledge, have had relapses and been off for months more.
Royal Mail's sick policy is farcical.
A mate of mine who is off sick, said he got a letter from the manager requesting a meeting to discuss coming back to work sooner.
Sooner than what, I asked. Sooner than my doctor advises, he said.
Bowlarks to that, I said.

They should have changed their name to OH insist :roll: the set of fookin quacks.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Good question.
Personally, I'm buggered if I can make sense of this modern urge to fill workplaces up with the sick and dying.

I had a call from them few weeks ago after a week off the doc gave me another week, they called me and thought maybe the other week wasn't enough and thought I should have the following week off also.
