A 17 minute update from Terry - he's not happy, the reality has finally hit him that the company don't give a s**t (and never have done).

Honestly dont give the company chance to attack terms, how about we have no payrise this year and just hold postion as we are?

He's not the only appeaser in the union who thumps the table one minute then about faces and tries to convince you that it's a "new culture".

I don't know if he's the mug or we are for buying into it every time.

According to his words it's a payrise we're due and not another renegotiation of previous agreements so it shouldn't be a long conversation.

Thank God you arent our negotiator

''We want a payrise!''

''Ok but only if we remove this, this and this from your terms and conditions''

''No please dont do that - ok we dont need a payrise!''

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:


''holding the position'' doesnt pay the bills
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

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.

''Ok but only if we remove this, this and this from your terms and conditions''. No pay rise this year. Are you serious or just scared

''No please dont do that - ok we dont need a payrise!''

You are willing to take a 7% pay cut with no improvement in your working conditions?

RM must love people like you.

The 9-5 shite mentioned earlier…..

Out in the hottest part of the day for 5-6 hours in the summer is stupid and that should be obvious and in the winter you’ll being doing part of it in the dark and I know we used to do that but it’s not the same now as it was then , way more could go wrong so where’s the union on the health risks?

Also , if other peoples offices are anything like the one I used to work in and the one I’m in now then you’d be going to and from work in rush hour traffic making you day way longer and cost more in petrol….I know rm don’t care but the union should.

9-5 also means you’d have zero part of your day left other than to be knackered all of the time and that’s not counting the weekend.

I said to my Dom the other week that this company keeps on removing any incentive to work for it bit by bit.

9-5 ends it for me personally , I’ll do something else.

I bet you are one of these people coming in 30min early to work for free so you don't have confront the manager about potential cut off. Typical yes man.
