A manager watching you work is harassment?
Maybe he/she thinks you don’t work hard enough. Maybe they’re just a twat.
Just ignore it. No point letting it get to you. It’s probably what they want.

Honestly, if this is happening then there’s a reason for it. I do wonder about these posts sometimes 🙄 Maybe they think you something to look at😂

Royal mail really does have a fair few nasty managers. I wonder how they sleep at night

While you prep, shouldn't be allowed surely?
Why didn’t you ask them why they’re staring at you? Perhaps there’s a reason. But tell them it’s making you feel uncomfortable by all means, I would.

If a male member of staff was stood staring at a female member of staff I think some of us know the implications of this behaviour in the workplace

The answer would be "because my managers used to stare at me when I was a postie, and his managers used to stare at him...etc etc."
Monkey see, monkey do. It's the RM way.
