Looking online it seems the price of “workplace” is £4 per employee per month. At the last report Royal Mail had 160,000 staff and everybody is able to access workplace. In this time when the business is saying money is short is it really value for money to be paying £640k PER MONTH OR £7.6m PER YEAR on a happy-clappy propaganda forum.

Unless they have a special deal and get it cheaper?

I certainly don't use Workplace!

Si said they had a special deal to get it cheaper, he won't reveal to cost tho as it's commercially sensitive.
I think he's got a rash.

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.

They're the same. Workplace is one big circle jerk.

I'd pay the £4 a month myself but I sure I wouldn't last 5 minutes without a ban

Never looked at it, what’s the point as it sounds like if u ask something that doesn’t fit the corporate agenda it gets deleted and u get invited into the DOM’s office the next morning.

It does seem a very easy way to lose your job.

It is an idea that may have started with the innocent aim of allowing some direct feedback from senior management to the shop floor but has quickly descended into a platform for propaganda and passive aggressive bullying.

It's a very, very dangerous place during a period of dispute, my advice is to stay well clear unless you know what you're doing.
