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.

Basic Pay
As a guide, new employees aged 18 and over will receive basic pay of around £256 a week for full-time hours rising to £285 - £311 after 1 year. This rate will be on a pro-rata basis for part-time hours. Higher rates are paid in Inner and Outer London and in some parts of the South East.
The above is slightly out of date.
If i'm right,i think new starters get bout £20 or summin like that less per week for a year.
It used to be like that and i dont think it has changed.

One of our vain glorious leaders ruined ASDA and changed its work practices and now he has moved onto Royal Mail. Actually he sold it to that American Bastion of greed called WALMART.

Several thousand 'managers' think so. Most of them never do a bloody tap, but they still get paid. :wink:
