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.

phantomshare - that was an incredibly interesting take on what has gone on so far and what Leighton is looking to do for the future. Trouble is it is quite scary and it involves every one of us.

Just yesterday we were shown the 'Crozier' video and afterwards a colleague spoke to me of how fearful she was for the future - she has loved working for RM for 4 years but felt had no choice but to look for another job NOW - jump before she was pushed. I tried to reassure her but could not move her from her position - FUD in action?

If anyone is reading this and has not filled in their ballot form then PLEASE do it and do it today - voting YES is the only way to deal with the likes of Leighton and Crozier - the only way to protect OUR future.
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

NOTHING NEW IM AFRAID LARGE FIRMS IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF TAKING ON BUSINESS PLANS FROM OTHER COUNTRYS AND RM IS VERY GUILTY OF THIS, IM AFRAID THE PROBLEM WITH MOST OF THESE PLANS IS THAT THEY WERE THE IDEA OF SOME CONSULTANT WHO STICKS AROUND FOR A FEW YEARS DRAWS LOADS OF MONEY THEN MOVES ON TO THE NEXT BIG JOB,REMIND YOU OF ANYONE?,THEN OF COURSE THE GREAT PLAN TURNS OUT TO BE A PILE OF SHI? AND COSTS THE COMPANY IN QUESTION A FORTUNE IN REVENUE AND ABILITY
CONSIGNIA TO PICK AN EXAMPLE
I USED TO WORK IN AN AREA WHERE JIT(JUST IN TIME MANAGMENT) WAS THE DOGS BOLOX AT THE TIME AND WE ALL HAD TO JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET,THE IDEA WAS THAT YOU HAD NO STORAGE OR WAREHOUSE STAFF ETC YOU JUST ORDERED WHAT YOU NEEDED FOR THE NEXT DAY AND YOUR SUPPLIER TURNED UP JUST WHEN YOU WANTED THEM TO DO SO EVERYONE WOULD BE HAPPY,GREAT IF IT WORKS NOT SO GREAT IF YOUR STAFF START AT 7AM AND THE WAGGON GETS THERE AT TWELVE SO FUD JIT ETC GREAT IDEAS FOR A FEW PEOPLE TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF MANY PEOPLE AND THEN MOVE ON TAKING NO RESPOSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS
