Most large companies have a code of conduct which sets what sort of behaviour is acceptable for employees. I'm fairly sure swearing and running down the management in front of other employees would be seen as unacceptable.
Only if you are a bootlicking tosser.
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Re: No united front at the Royal Mail
Another good article from the guardian (but did it make the paper?). "Share options" was the bit that stood out.
I'd rather just be given them! Still, if they increase in value then buy and sell them but if they don't then don't (get a bridging load if you can't afford it).
Share-option schemes are typically used as an incentive for employees.
A share option is the right to buy a certain number of shares at a fixed price, some time in the future, within a company.

No it wasn't in the paper. Wish it was, I'd've been paid more for it.

Re: No united front at the Royal Mail
Good article yet again Roy. Same conversation goes on in our smoking shed aswell since all the managers were told to give up smoking 
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Re: No united front at the Royal Mail
Been a while since I added my two pennies' worth on comment is free, but had to have a go this time. Pretty fair article, though I don't think it has so fair an audience. Many people don't seem to have noticed how different the postman's job has become over the past decade. They're judging on how the postal service used to be and extrapolating that as a means to form their opinion on the present situation. Reality is completely different, which is why it's a massive shame that so many misinformed individuals, who barely have an understanding (of any intimate nature, at least) of the real pressures of life shall be the ones who decide our fate when they vote on the Postal Services Bill or whatever the hell they're calling it. I wonder if they ever see the postman visiting their (second) homes? Bet they don't know his/her name.
