WAM = Wives and Mothers. (from WAGs)

A lot of people who work in MCs aren't actually competent to be out on their own so they have to have a close relative in attendance.
So not only do you have to work with a bunch of saddos, you have to put up with either their wives and mums looking after them as well.
PS. There aren't very many wives involved.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

from my experience working in a mail centre the best way to describe it is like a dickensian (slave) work house... only thing thats missing is the supervisiors having whips...

you still have managers expecting you to complete unrealistic amounts of work in short time spaces... so you will feel like nothings changed... apart from not having pigeons sh*tting on you when your working... now you have to get that pleasure in your own time :Very Happy
