Nah! It won't be either of them. This is a lad who wants to work and earn an honest living. They're just a pair of parasites.
You'll be alright Majeed lad! :wink:

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.

Sat around

Post by majeed »

Sat around all day reading this forum, interspersed with going to mosque for prayers. I PM'd practically everyone in this thread with a request for information on the best way to tackle doing walks I had no experience of, while at the same time trying to get as much experience of a DO as possible. All the replies were very useful, so thank you very much. Only the postwoman from Wales, whose husband also works with her, sent the reply, "Why are you asking me?".

Oh! I am very sorry, bro *gives POSTMAN a big, warm hug and POSTMAN blushes*.

I sent you one earlier about your icon not bing animated at the side of some posts very early today and you didn't reply, so I thought you were a 'hands-off' type of administrator. SORRY! I will PM you, inshaa-a Allah.

There, there! Bless!

Why did the EC go into great detail to explain the many reasons WHY!
We should support the strike action, but now they have got an agreement (ha ha)
they are not so forthcoming in giving out information as to WHY we should accept it?

DEAL OR NO DEAL
Considering the total lack of information coming out from CWU Headquarters.
I feel a great big
NO DEAL
Is the order of the day!!!!!
Being a cynic i'd say they will be sending out tons of comms based around the date that the ballot papers come out. There will also be a 'reasons to vote YES' document in with the ballot paper!

I'd say they are leaving it late so it gives people campaigning for NO to answer the points they will make. Guess we will see :Very Happy
Understand your point, but its not reasons to vote yes Im looking for!
It's FULL understanding of what this proposed agreement exacatly entails?
My future within this company as well as thousands of other's depends on which way
we choose our path to lead, there are many fool-hardy people out there who will vote yes (as have done before!)
on the pure recomendation of the EC, without FULL understanding what they are actually voting for.


WITH ENOUGH IGNORANT PEOPLE OUT THERE.
YOU CAN LEAD THEM WHERE EVER YOU WANT THEM TO GO!!!

It's nice to see you smiling. That's what we all want. :Very Happy :pray

Incidentally, I wasn't getting at Margate Postman, as he is senior to me in years, although now I can see that my comment came across that way: what I was meaning to say was, 'Royal Mail in Margate usually seems to run like clock work - it's a shame it didn't come through in the circumstance you mentioned, with the bicycle." I have a respect for people older than myself.

I just want to plod on, like everyone else: it's a job at the end of the day: let's try to keep some fun in it and be on a level with each other. That's what I'll try to do.
