Merry xmas/shaking peoples hands?

Post by POSTMAN »

Why is it that at this time of the year,the scumbag colleagues (thought i'd get them in-in the interest of fairness) and (insert here whatever you like remembering this is a family show) managers feel that it is their need to shake your hand and wish you a 'good one'. Image

I usually go missing.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

And some of them haven't washed their hands after going to the toilet.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Is that before or after your manager has told you are not getting your christmas bonus because you were off sick and your thick scummy colleagues are standing behind him smirking and nodding in agreement :Very Happy

Reminds me of the gag where you wash your hands and leave them wet and then go up to someone and touch their arm whilst saying that you just hate it when you piss all over your hand! :chuckle

"Actions speak louder than words"........I don't want to be mates with the Management. :no no Sort out the Wages & the Overtime.....make sure the Leave is sorted then have the common decency to work the hours you're paid, doing the job you're paid to do .......Have they never heard the phrase, "Command is a lonely Task"? If you want to dump on people fine...But don't expect them to be your mates afterwards! :mad At times like these I take a leaf out of our youngsters book and give a "Yeah Whatever"! :cuppa

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.
