Hello!

Post by snow-walker »

Just joined. I'm a postman from the AL area, have been in the job 17 years. I love it, it's the best job in the world and I don't want to do anything else and it's sad to see what the current, highly paid, management regime are trying to do to it. :d'oh! Thanks for a great site, it's encouraging to see what people feel and to know there are others who share my anger and frustration at what's happening to the job.

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.

Welcome Mike. Wow you are a Senior Man well done. I'm seen as oldish in my DO and I would have been 1year old when you started. Sorry to hear about the Motor Neurone but you sound like a fighter so keep on going.
