Why are we all getting new uniform ?

Post by baleout »

Quick questions:-

1. Why are we all getting new uniform ?

2. How much is it costing RM ( you know, the company that doesn't have any money) ?

Far be it from me but our DOM let slip at a WTLL session that we would all get a new uniform only when we signed up to a new revision.

same here, but it doesn't register on my "give a fcuk-o-meter" as all uniforms are made by the cheapest contract.

That's what we where told too, problem is that they keep putting our revision off so they are now talking about just letting us wear it before the revision comes in.

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.

We all filled in the forms for the new uniform as Park and Loopy was supposed to be in by now ;liar :roll: so it all arrived and was piled up causing an elf and safety issue so they had to give it us...only we arn't allowed to wear any of it or will be conduct coded(isn't everything these days :hmmmm) we can only wear it only when it comes in next year.
