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.

Manager: "Look, you've had 162 days off for stress leave this year so far."
Postie: "Wow, is that all? Better than the rest of the team in the office, right?"

I know you’re the only employee still here, the rest are on sick leave....but you need to clear the entire office, not just your frame. Here, let me write it clearly on the board for you.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Manager: "Look, this is the amount of tracked you could have delivered while you were listening to my pointless monologue!"

We are reintroducing World Class Mail
Were making over a Million Pounds a day and therefore need to squander some of it, rather than offer the postmen and women a pay rise re all the blood sweat and tears of the last 18 months
What do you think ?????????????????????

Manager: We've noticed you have spare capacity on your walk after double lapsing, so we now want you to do pre-duty management coffee lapsing to fill your time. These are the management's daily requirements. Tom is a double shot skinny soya milk latte, mine is a double full fat mocha latte with caramel.....

Postman: Err I'll just stop you there, I need to speak to the Union rep.

Manager: <laughs> Union?
