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.

DEBACLE DAY

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Last day of the old walks and what a c---- mix up. I got to a bag drop and found someone elses bag there. Rang in and they asked me to do it. Yes they asked. Did so but forgot that when I finshed that bag I had to walk past all my regulars and they must have thought I was having an easy day. 1/2mile dead walking and then back to DO to get the frames and opals ready for "Doomsday Monday" [/img]

Its our sections turn for the executive action implementation of the new Geo route Walks.

One bloke on another section had his walk tested by an independant manager :Confused from somewhere else and his walk was 4 1/2 hrs long. Apparently 3/5 of the DO done now (last 2 sections Monday) and so far all walks are over 3.5 hrs.

Nope just refusal to cooperate which is not going well. Union is weak locally. Awaiting result of a consultative ballot from 2 weeks ago.
