Managers Fighting

Post by Rowdy »

I heard yesterday that two managers at Edinburgh Mail Centre had a bit of fisty cuffs on the shop floor and one was sent home. Can anyone confirm this, or even better does anyone have a video of it that they can post on Youtube.

If it is true, then at least one, if not both will have to be sacked! It is a sackable offence to fight in work.

Any chance of getting Crozier and Leighton to follow suit, then we can get rid of them as well?

Unless there is a new kind of fighting which doesn't involve getting your arse out of a chair, or indeed much movement of any kind at all, I find the idea of managers fighting unbelievable. :wink:

No, they will both keep their jobs. It's 'do as we say, not do as we do' again.

I think it was the day shift as the person that told me said it happened "this morning". I don't no anymore than that I'm afraid but I'm starting to think it's not true as no one else I've spoke to seems to no anymore about it. Maybe Royal Mail's secret police have covered it up.

By the way he did name one of the managers allegedly involved but you no I can't name anyone on here.

Interesting idea, bit like Celebrity Death Match, in fact very like it. Little molded puppets knocking 7 bells out of each other, I'd watch that. :dance
