Using too few staff to increase bonus led to failure at Bristol Mail Centre last night.

Yet whenever we voiced our concerns about the duties being unworkable we were told that they weren't and we're just out to fail the revision :hmmmm

I don't work in Dundee but I do know the calibre of managers because NI and Scotland seem to have inter-changable managers :roll:

Still the usual suspects going home up to 3 hours before their finish time whilst other staff who can't complete their deliveries are being bullied

Aint been much in your local rag,maybe just a quick word like...
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
