management structure is roughly 7500.

In the MR2020 announcement we were told we needed to reduce management population by 2,000 from a management team of 9,500. If you do the maths then it leaves us with (c)7,500 managers. Now the business is prepared to lose around 8% of those from deliveries.

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.

'To go...' or being offered a chance to return to the ranks and go on 'delivery?'....that might fill in a few glaring gaps post the revision mess.
Many are incapable physically of delivery, that's why they are managers, first and foremost

Unite vows to fight threat to axe 700 Royal Mail manager jobs

https://www.unitetheunion.org/news-even ... ager-jobs/

As a staunch union person who will never cross a picket line I would have to apply this to any dispute that ends up in strike action, but I will not be quiet about their scabbing ways when we have been out in the past.

My Old DO every manager took VR and they replaced them with acting Lino’s and they never got any reduction in management. So I’m not sure why they even offered the VR in the first place.

There has been talk of a few DOMs in our area being given a golden handshake over the past few weeks. No one in to replace them so the cull has already begun

Plenty of the posties at our place think they are managers - get rid of those pr1cks first and it would be a better place to work.

Not only are they not going to strike but there'll be 1400 volunteers hoping to be one of the 700 who are supposed to be going.
Their union (such as it is) can huff and puff all they like but it won't change anything.

£40,000,000 divided by 700 = about £57,300 = at least 1400 well needed full time posties for the front line, Sorted, Thanks Simon.
