Can I just say this for the record, I have never had any real issues with any of my managers. My biggest bugbears are with my colleagues.
Secondly, uneasy lie the head that wears the crown. This is a business and management have to do what management does. I have seen good natured managers get walked all over by posties and then their superiors... Managers even get more bullied than we do.
It is not always the manager's fault but the bosses at the very top who comes up with birdbrain ideas and who wants to maximise profits for their bonuses and status.
With RM, we cannot simply be sacked for no good reasons - we are not at that stage yet, not in this country and not with big employers like RM or other quasi-govt institutions. Of course, people might find out that they might be able to get away with less and that disciplinary and absence procedures might get tougher But then, this is your job and livelihood so you better take it seriously, so your job properly and watch yourself. Personally, I do that anyway! (I do not take the p***!)
