Wellbeing guide - an idiots guide?

Post by warlord »

I cannot recall (amnesia..?) :crazy: receiving the previous editon of the 'all gloss & no undercoat' November Courier.
The current December edition came with two feeling first class fact files.
Card 05 - Stress & card 06 - Alcohol.
Does the employer believe that the workforce are so dumb that we need this?
Stress! Ok! Picture this. Should I follow the advice on the card I should be looking for stressed out family, workmates, friends -yeah!
I wave the card under their nose and recommend they need to read it.
Exercise.... Not a problem for delivery staff
Relaxation techniques..... NEVER a problem for managers.
'Talk openly to your manager if you are feeling stressed'.... another anecdote.
Do they really care.....? I doubt it!
Most of the lower hierarchy are only concerned about productivity, fat pay packets, promotion and unjustified bonuses that we have sweat for.

I got November's Courier downstairs, along with all copies I've recieved since the announcement of the strike ballot - all waiting for me to remember to bring them in and kill them off as "Refused" :Very Happy :oops:
