can you explain the point to me then? Exactly what change would you like to see to these outdated practices?
I think all new starts should be put on a half walk for the first 6 weeks to enable them to become fully acquainted with all aspects of the delivery role and allow their bodies to adapt to the physical workload.
I think there also needs to be clear direction from the top that seniority is not to be used for annual leave allocation.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Really pleased that you have at least acknowledged them as 'outdated practices'.

Line managers are overpaid.
A line manager has three aspects to their role.

1. Security guard.
2. Trolley collection.
3. Admin Assistant.

Bearing in mind they are all part-time roles what's the going rate for those jobs outside Royal Mail?

This made me smile I shall keep this in mind the next time I'm being 'leaned on' to compete or lapse
