No, being stuck in what has become a dead-end job, is no reason to be thankful.
Personally, I'm bloody angry that I cannot get out of this feckin' rut.
Why haven't you gone to "the greener grass"
All the mail centre jobs are taken - personally I think it would be a good idea to have a job share - 3 days on delivery followed by 2 days standing by a machine on alternating weeks - that would give everyone a clearer view of what the business is about.
I would be up for that, but I work nights so would be hard to sort that with me!
By greener grass I mean a job outside Royal Mail, as there is apparently gold plated jobs out there!
Yes I was aware what you meant db sooooooooo how about a week about - even better really
Why would you want to swap with me! Aparently all I do is stand at a machine drinking coffee, sure you would much rather have a brisk walk in the sunshine?!
I haven't worked in a mail centre .only on delivery. The job is harder than ever (22 years service) A few years ago a postman from our office,a union rep,decided to try a managers job in our nearest mail centre. When I asked him why his reply was" This job is going to get much harder on delivery,so I'm off to work indoors"
Anyone who thinks privatisation is going to be good is nuts.Job cuts and lower pay.Most have stuck this job for the security/pension, personally I would like redundancy to try a new challenge before I get to old.Many of us get stuck in a routine and change is frightening.Even in this economic climate jobs are available if you are prepared to retrain.
A. Royal Mail isn't low paid .
B. Your wages will probably go up under privatisation (railway staff earn a small fortune now with Guards on 30k a year).

A. It will be when privatized.
B. Ask BT, Gas, Electric, Water, Bus workers etc. if they earn more now. I know from experience what they will say.

If that was true TNT wouldn't be paying buttons would they?
It's a job with a low skill requirement and even lower educational requirement.
Even Michael Gove could probably manage it......
It's not even dangerous any more now that the WCM safety pillar has removed all unsafe acts by drawing pictures of them and stapling them to the D.O. wall.

I'm a step ahead there ft, ready for my role as WCM champion, take away the sharp pointy biros and only issue crayons

possible explanation points to the decrease of employment and of the
share of labour in value added of the privatised industries: the higher wages of the
stayers in the industries are matched by a shift to procurement, and by lower wages in
the contracted-out employment.

Hang on. Isn't stapling a bit dangerous
No.
First he used blu-tac to stick an "unsafe use of staplers" sketch on the wall thus immediately rendering stapling safe...then he stapled.
He's not an idiot oypostie.
Use of crayons a definite no no. After all we may want to draw naughty pictures all over the walls, or take them home to our wives/partners to hang on the fridge door.

After drawing a few pictures with your crayons you can start licking the windows, save on the window cleaner then
Sign your new contract or leave, all part time-all minimum wage-halve the workforce and stuff the U.S.O.
Go and speak to the TNT boys trialing West London if it's still on, they'll tell you.
How do you feel about working for Royal Dutch Express? :vcfo
Everyone is equal in Royal Mail, but some are more equal than others!
