Serious question, what will they be learning online?

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.

Wait so let me get this right, they start on a 35 hour classed as full time contract and get a walk given to them?!

Meanwhile other people who have been in for years are still on part time contracts with no walk?
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

We have a number of people who only do 3/4 of a part time round and get a full time wage.
I never realised they were doing an apprenticeship.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Although it's gone now, on the job site there was 1 per office, or did I see a list somewhere.
Either way, it's 1 spotty, with a tude and where can I charge my fone bruv teen per office.
