The whistleblower had been allegedly instructed by his managers to fraudulently pay staff for overtime which had not been worked.
I had a thought today, while we are still not sure what went on, IF the above, then how are those who participated still in a job as well?
Big IF btw.
Very rarely are managers judged by the same set of rules as the front line staff, who often are warned or lose their jobs through relatively minor breaches of the rules. How often do you ever see managers being coached counselled or conducted for anything? In my opinion, they are a heavily protected species, and nothing much will change until there are consequences to bad management.

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.

Probably because the method of managers paying posties overtime in lieu of future work is a supposed standard practice that has gone on for years. A lot of units appear to be a law unto themselves
