really ? lol
Hey, I wouldn't bang a manager on principle - don't get me wrong here.

But if I did, I reckon that would be between me and her. Not you.

So long as I was pulling my weight (no pun intended).

Sounds a bit far fetched to me.

So, if they weren't, where does that leave us ? 2 people in trouble for spending 10 minutes in private together ?
The manageress was paying our postie to OT "legit".
I seemed like he was genuinely working more hours but he was spending the hours with the manageress. But the posties wife seen the payslips and thought it was real hours he was away doing. That's why they got dismissed it was fraud hours being paid. And that's where the problem came from, the rest of us couldn't get any real proper OT because it was being used for other things!

I have more appealing things stuck to my shoe, than the management. But, at the end of the day, grassing is grassing, and the culture at Royal Mail now - get the long servers out and replace em with agency - Why would you want to help them do it?

Our office is like that with its "favourites"


The phrase 'jobs for the boys' in management :shhhhh :shhhhh :shhhhh
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

MMM, so you don't care. You leave it at that. Start time and finish time, that's it. If linos want their pats on the head from above, then let them find the faults themselves.
Either that or grow a pair, and tell your partner to get his act together.

So just to be clear, not only do you not have a problem with blatant favouritism by management you're okay with with fraud too? Any other crimes you'd look the other way on? How about if you walked in on one member of staff sexually assaulting another?

Blatant favouritism goes on on anyway, and you'll never stop it. As does fraud. Work to rule and hurt them properly. It doesn't take a genius.
Don't worry about other crimes, just stick to the topic in question.
