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.

Jesus I need to give our managers a bit more credit, you're telling me they're doing all that yet they still make it look as if they're actually doing fek all, really don't know how they can do it and still manage to get off home early !!

"Making the depot, a great place to work". That one had me in stitches.every one a classic. Even Tommy Cooper couldn't come up,with funnier than that
Is this a 50 year contract? That's how long it will take to find morale,we have just brought in Time Team at our place to,try and dig some up.
