If you think launching a grievance with a view to a tribunal is "getting our tummies tickled" I'd be interested in what you think would be a better process and punishment if the grievance/tribunal is upheld.

If a manager is effectively bullying and found 100% to be doing so they should be sacked

That I 100% agree with. However, only Royal Mail can do that, neither a tribunal nor a grievance has that ability. In fact, I don't know of any way that a business can be forced to dismiss someone if they don't actually want to.

If you read the link I have put up, and have put it up again for clarification, you will see the LTB's on the subject...

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.

Hi,

I'm currently off sick with COVID and feel pretty poorly. I have forwarded NHS email to my manager that says to isolate for 5 days along with a sick note from doctors saying I'm not fit for work.
I've been off 3 days up until now and manager has told me my pay will definitely be deducted. Is this lawful? Any advice would be great thanks
No ,it's not lawful .You have followed procedure and even got a sick note. Your scumbag of a manager is bullshitting you into going back to work.

The main thing is to recover from your illness and don't rush back, your GP will certainly be more sympathetic, believe me.

Once fit enough follow the advice on putting a grevience in.You will definitely get paid.

Get well soon.

Drop an email to the select committee if you haven’t already. I’m sure they will be happy to hear from you….

“If they’re bills I don’t want ‘em!”
