Re: Postman declines to help 72-years-old woman who has fallen in the snow
Please consider that First Aid guidelines have changed during lockdown and the emphasis is on covid19 risk. For example: if you deal with casualty which is unconscious and with breathing difficulties you do not give rescue breaths and before you do breast pumps you cover the casualty’s nose and mouth with towel/cloth (sic!). It is highly controversial and many first aiders refuse to follow similar guidelines. I am saying this to emphasise that for NHS the fact that you lay on the ground with broken leg is not enough to immediately approach you. First they ask if you have covid symptoms and if so you will be treated like a leper. In current regulations you are required to suppress you natural human instincts and need to make sure that you ‘will not kill a granny’..(I would have still helped though..)

News story here...
https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/6 ... fall-help/
A SCOTS postman left a vulnerable pensioner lying in the snow amid freezing temperatures after a bad fall as she begged for help.
Shocking footage showed the Royal Mail worker ignoring elderly Patricia Stewart despite her pleas for assistance - because he was “too knackered”.
He then left the scene without giving her a hand, leaving Patricia to the mercy of the Baltic weather conditions in Falkirk.
In the video, he says: “I can't help. I'm knackered. Absolutely knackered.”
Patricia’s fuming loved ones slammed the “disgusting” clip as they blasted the postie for his actions.
Post Office warns Scots NOT to take Covid tests into shop as they could spread virus
The OAP's niece Sheryl told on social media how the OAP was helped inside by a kind-hearted Hermes worker a short time later - who then fetched a neighbour.
Sheryl told The Scottish Sun: "“I was shocked and disgusted. I’ve been looking after my aunt since September. I thought it didn’t sound right at first - nobody would leave a 72-year-old on the ground.
"But then I saw the video. I was in disbelief. If I hadn’t seen the video, I wouldn’t have believed it. It beggars belief. I don’t know what the guy was thinking. It was bizarre.”
She wrote on Facebook: “Here’s our postman this morning, my aunt had fallen and was lying on the path in the snow! If you listen closely you will here the postman telling my Aunt “I can’t help you pal I’ve been out working since x time this morning in this weather” and walks away leaving a 72yr old lady lying in the snow!
“Luckily the Hermes girl arrived soon after and done what the postman should have and called on a neighbour to help!
“Thank goodness for that girl because this could have been a very different situation if she hadn’t turned up when she did.
“I honestly don’t have the words for how disgusting this is, for a human being to treat another human being in this manner words fail me.”
Sheryl told how her aunt is feeling much better after her fall, as messages of support poured in from Royal Mail workers across the country.
She said: "My aunt's much better now. This guy left her feeling worthless, she was upset that he couldn’t stop and help.
But it's been quite humbling. We’ve had messages from postmen up and down the country. It reassures you not everyone’s like that.”
A spokesperson said: “Royal Mail expect the highest standards of behaviour from our people while out on deliveries and collections at all times. We regularly remind our postmen and postwomen of the important role they play in their local communities.
“We were very sorry to learn about this incident, and for the distress this incident has caused. We are in touch with the customer concerned and will be investigating this incident.”

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.

Unfortunately I work with some people that are complete narcissisic sociopaths who only care about themselves and quite happily stab you in the back for their own advantage.
Some of us at one time or another will have worked with such odious individuals.
That said when things go wrong for them, I would quite happy to let them stew in the mess of their own making.

I think the footage was from a ring doorbell system probably proximity triggered.

There is a warning here for all of us not that the vast majority of staff would stoop this low.
We are now almost always recorded from somewhere whether it's CCTV, these new doorbell systems or just some random with a phone.
Think before you do anything....

Re: Postman declines to help 72-years-old woman who has fallen in the snow
I've left an old guy lying on the street before, outside his house.
I asked if he was ok?
he slurred that he was fine as he looked up covered in his own vomit. 10am, bit early to be absolutely hammered m8

He was obviously someone who comes in early and was trying to finish 2 hours before he should do!
