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.

How is that your managers are mugging the staff off? People coming in early and working through their breaks to finish early are mugging THEMSELVES AND THEIR FELLOW WORKERS who do the job right

People work unpaid overtime in every walk of life, it's not unique to royal mail. An office only gets mugged if the union rep allows this to affect the resource plan in the office and there's no excuse for that. If you're having proper resource meetings then the hours have to cover the workload at least on paper and a manager can't budget on people coming in early or not taking their breaks.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
