Sickness

Post by Nigel1505 »

Since our revision a year or so ago, I have noticed the sickness levels in our little office (c20 colleagues) have gone up quite a lot. We only used to have the occasional person off at one time. Now we have at least two off every week and at the moment have four off. Has anyone else noticed this increase since trolleys and extended walks. It must be throughout RM and be costing a fortune in sick pay; not to mention uncovered walks. My Dom on Saturday was asking for volunteers to deliver today, "Sunday", in a neighbouring town. :crazy:

What's a trolley????
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.

"ok i will ask dom whos off sick tomorrow"

Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

You intimated he was a managers chum and I presented a different argument. Now you belittle my reply with a throwaway line. :thumbdown

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