Could not be any prouder of my team for what they have achieved in the last few weeks as we resume to a normal level of customer service. It’s now time for my first Christmas in the business and I can’t wait!

I think Harry Potter visited. He waved his magic wand, and all the letters got delivered by owls and the office was cleared just like that!
Everything will be OK in the end, If it's not OK, then its not the end.

You can add Eastbourne to that list
Rumour has it that the Eastbourne office took unofficial action today.
Did they go and sit in the canteen for bit after harsh words were exchanged between a manager and an OPG?
It seems the office is at breaking point.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Reason behind the unofficial action I was told was the insistance of Management wanting only tracked items to be delivered and letters that may be important have been left in the frames for up to 4 or 5 weeks .
Absolutely shocking and Postmen only trying to look after their customers

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.

Surprised my office hasn't made the list yet. Possibly due to the staff in our office being whipped like slaves.
