3 conference calls this morning. 1st one had a regional director saying business as usual , continue with revisions. When challenged by numerous managers,about the briefing they had just given to staff that said the opposite, and that the union had also talked about the same statement , the director went offline.
The conference call was reconvened later, with the same director saying the opposite of what they had said before and that they must work with the union. A manager then said that he had a disciplinary case to do today and that he knew that if it went to an industrial tribunal Royal Mail would lose, so was he to proceed with it. The director wouldn't answer and took it off line, leaving all the managers in the dark.
The best was the 3rd conference call with,Simple Simon and Thicky Ricky.
Simple Simon thanked his managers and said at no point had he said the words Rogue Manager, resulting in managers ringing each other saying, this chump wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the ****. Thicky Ricky did his usual waffling at which point most managers left the conference call running whilst getting on with duties in the office.
The one good thing that came out of it was Simple Simon admitted that he and those around him had made a number of big mistakes and were now taking a different course. Hopefully they will stick to it.
