Begging threads should not be allowed unless independently verified and background checked by Occpational Health.

We DONT need to know the details but we DO need to know if we are being extorted or emotively hoodwinked.
I'll change it for you.... Begging threads should not be allowed unless independently verified and background checked by the mods of this site.
The second, I agree with in a way. We DO need to know what we are giving money to if it's legit.
Yes!

And…this a a huge company with 115,000 workers (granted they are not all lurking on here) but if each one were to donate you just £1 on your “gofundme”
page then you would be very wealthy indeed without any checking or background scrutiny.

(not saying this case is not genuine but it needs some sort of official verification before thousands of pounds are handed over on the basis on 1 unsubstantiated emotive post)

N.B note it is “gofundme” and not “JustGiving” (there are different rules on verification)

We each make our own decision on what we believe is true, and that includes the Mods. That is all we can do, isn't it?

Yes quite, but without verification of previous 6 month absence in the previous year (and quite rightly it is confidential) then the claim of “RM being twats” for not paying (beyond 12 months sick pay) falls very hollow.

Oh get a life. If you’re that bothered don’t donate. I’m relatively new so I was unaware of the four year policy but after speaking to colleagues I was made aware. But on the other hand you don’t know how the way the situation has been dealt with and that’s why i called them twats because the way that themselves and occupational health have dealt with the situation is absolutely disgusting. But it’s still just the same response from me. Don’t donate then, I posted the link and post and a lot of generous and lovely people donated and no one is forcing you to make a comment or donate or anything like that, so just don’t? If you read the post and the first thought you have is oh why has she been off for a year, then don’t bother commenting. She’s been giving more bad news and could have months to live so we don’t need to be questioned about our friends medical history just leave it now

Locking this now, very disappointed with how it's unfolded, I will edit the out of topic posts.And regularly bump the topic.

Below is a Workplace post from our CEO Simon Thompson, it is self explanatory. It was regarding the new sick pay policy.
I would suggest Leannej3 contact him, and even use the image as well.

Good luck.

Also ironic that the business pushes various cancer months.

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.
