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.

When you think RM were supposedly making around £1m a day before these two idiots arrived and suddenly started losing around £1m a day, it's safe to assume things were better before. But, the cynical among us might be tempted to ask, if we suddenly started losing £2m a day, why wasn't someone up before a Commons Select Commitee for a good roasting? So you would wonder if we really are losing the money these scumbags say we are. They have a track record for lying (27% pay rise, 25% overpaid, 40% underworked) so who can say?

When are we going to hear that RM's Sales & Marketing people are getting a kick up the arse rather than us as usual.
They must be earning a tidy pay packet but they have a very low profile.
In any other company where orders are lost and at this rate these well paid employees are first to face the music.

Don't believe the hype about RM having no profit. Notice how last years finance report isn't out yet. The last thing RM wants is to announce a profit while fighting us over a pay deal.

Leighton came to us when we were allegedly losing millions a day.Miraculously two years later we were hundreds of millions in profit. The losses were made due to RM writing off over a £billion in poor investments in foreign mail companies. £800 million on new equipment for post office counters to be used mainly for benefits payments. This cock up was completed just as the government pulled the plug on using counters for benefits. The books were also cooked to group most of the 40,000 admin redundancies into a loss year.

Ask your manager to show you the excel spreadsheet showing the delivery cost per item for each office in your area. Most will be running at less than 10 pence per item. Even poorly performing offices come in under the downstream access rate of 13pence per item. RM is in profit but it weakens their position for us to know it. We are being lied to in order to justify cost cutting.
