The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

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.

Have a long and happy retirement - you may wonder after a while, how you ever found the time to go to work :)
Less than two years for me now and I am getting excited at the prospect already.

Best wishes - Rhino
