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.

I heard they were taking the 4 days pay when I went in this morning then 1 hour later, I heard that all of the Middlesbrough office had walked because of this, haven't had my payslip today though so I cannot confirm anything.

I just don't understand why you expected them to pay you when you are on Strike.

We're not on strike. Jog on dickhead, nothing for you to see here.

Hangggg onnnnnnn!

We striked last Friday and Sat ( 1 week)
We striked Mon and Tues (2nd week)

We should be deducted 2 pays only for each week - not f***ing 4 in the one week

Since when did Fri, Sat, Mon and Tues become part of a week?

This is RM's way of getting their own back, legal to do but imorrally wrong, just try & stick lots of OT in if you can.
