If its RED hide it
our office is a shambles at the minute we currently have No Rubber bands, No Kill off stickers, No form left cards, no spare bags, no pens, no cycle helmets for new starters. So basically everyday is like a scavenger hunt for these items, the ones i have im forced to hide as everybody is on the scrounge and its the only way to get the job done efficiently. Poor new starter had to use packet bags to take his round out, i took pity and gave him my spares (light day) but probably wont see them again tomorrow. Is it similar in other offices or is this just another of Royal mails cutback schemes? Why cant managers order these things before they run out?

Re: If its RED hide it
It is the PHG's job to keep the stocks supplied in our office. That is my job and I make sure that I order plenty in advance. No problems ordering any supplies at all.

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.
