I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

The biggest "waste" product at Royal Mail has to be giving over £1m a year to certain people at Royal Mail.

Spanish postal workers burning Crozier effigies

Post by mailjock »

Naw - just a joke but wonder if the European Court will take action against Crozier and his non PC comments about hard working Spaniards?

A PACK OF f***ing LIES!!!

f**k me with a big long pole, where does this guy get his info from?
ARE MANAGERS TELLING HIM THIS s**t?????

THE MANAGERS IN OUR DEPOT WOULD TELL YOU TO f***ing think again IF YOU TRIED ANY OF THIS s**t ON.

There are guys working OVER their time for f**k ALL in our depot - they are either too scared for their jobs to do otherwise or Chinese guys being bullied etc. I did it myself for 4wks when i started cause i was bullied into it by manager and didn't know any better - ie to cut off.

Some of them things went on years ago when no one wanted the job and overtime helped RM to run, but these things havnt gone on for years, and what about the practices that have gone on and still go on like,
PEOPLE STARTING EARLY TO GET THE JOB DONE FOR NO EXTRA MONEY.
PEOPLE NOT HAVING BREAKS,
PEOPLE USING THEIR OWN CARS AND MOTORBIKES TO GET TO AND FROM DELIVERY, SAVING RM THOUSANDS OF POUNDS.
THIS B***ARD SOLD US JOB AND FINNISH AS A THANKYOU FOR ALLOWING THEM TO TAKE OUT SECOND DELIVERY AND AS HE SAID TO GET RM BACK INTO PROFIT, HE TURNED A BLIND EYE TO THESE SO CALLED SPANISH PRACTICES.
WHAT A TWO FACED B***ARD.
Over the years postal staff have saved this company millions of pounds by getting the job done their own way to help themselves save time and now he beats us over the head with it like we are some sort of parasites draining the company of profits, its overpaid goverment backed blood suckers like him and the rest of the managerial parasites that are draining this companys profits not us :cfo :lfo ...UNITY IS STRENGTH.

Too right...who is :cfo to lecture us about something he created and pushed on us, when he drains megabucks from a company allegedly under enormous threat.

great post mate - he has SOLD us up the river and is a two faced good for nothing little under achieving ceo who is heading for a career ending fall. Insensed with the telegraph list i just emailed their letters page and maybe they will publish because even right wing papers must be interested when they are having the wool pulled over their eyes:


Sir - i browsed with great interest and incredulity the list of 'Spanish Practices' apparently common place in Royal Mail delivery offices. I wish you had published this list sooner - as a postman myself I was, incredibly i know, completely unawares of these underhand goings-on. Tommorrow I shall claim 2hrs overtime for 10minutes work and if, as I hope, you have been informed correctly, my manager will rush to put it in the overtime book for me! Joy of joys I might be on Directorship wages before too long! Thankyou once again! On a serious note, I must say that this unsubstantiated list produced to you by Royal Mail Group Ltd is utterly preposterous and is, as a matter of fact, a reflection of rare practices which ended over 15years ago - when the buisness was making a profit and could afford to overlook (with local managerial consent) such extravagances.
