Moved to Angard froum.

Would possibly suggest talking to a manager as soon as you start.

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.

Depends on the manager.

They do say in the job spec that you have to be available for the duration of your contract, but it's up to the line/shift manager how strictly that's enforced.
