The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Only 2 days into banning overtime, you'd think it's going far higher.

Was thinking the same. Give a week or two and you won't be able to write all the offices on a Andrex toilet roll.
Maybe that's the plan from management.
Never known it this bad.

Sadly, as we established a page or so back, RM is seemingly under no obligation to report ALL of the failing offices, this list is just maintaining the appearance of transparency. Notice as well that none of the trial offices make the list - which seems statistically unlikely at the very least.

The real number of offices in the s**t is closer to 1000 than 100.

That's because they're performing so damn well under the ODM that... err, the union is drawing a line in the sand about it ever being rolled out nationally.

There won't be much mail going out today in that weather.

On a separate note, is there site issues using android browser as I've had an error for nearly a week and have to use chrome?
