Do you think he should have 42 days off, playing the system
If i worked in his office i would rather he had 42 days off rather than expose me and others to a deadly virus you also dont know hes playing the system

We also have arrows on floor so we walk one way. Takes all the specials to each postman so no crowding around den.Failed a load of smaller packets to take pressure of us and let us concentrate on the tracked.
There is some good ones around, just not many. Hope you keep this manager they usually move them on if there any good.
