Come on Lou you enjoy goading them.
It's called being an online troll, they probably have a lot of pent up frustration and 'live' a miserable existence.

Genuinely feel sorry for the type of person who gets their jollies out of exhibiting that type of behaviour, especially on an anonymous website geared towards helping out their fellow colleagues.

But here we are.
I generally feel sorry for someone who has left the company yet is still obsessed enough by it to post on a website dedicated to posties, so I guess we are all sorry. Still, this is another thread you have managed to drag off topic, so it will likely be closed. Well done.

As to goading, nope. I merely give back to those dishing out insults. It isn’t my fault that mine are on a different level of wit and don’t need to rely on childish digs and name calling.

Things start to make sense when the same people who claim this is such an easy, overpaid job also state they are at a 'well organised DO'.

Their attitudes may be different if they were at a not so well organised one.

And I assume 'well organised' actually means less demanding. It doesn't take long to make the distinction when you've worked at a few different ones.
I'm turning purple!

You are absolutely right. I’ve said this time and time again. I have it good. I have every sympathy for those struggling and offer genuine advice on here when asked but as soon as I do, the same members of the ‘terminal moaners’ posse arrive to dish out the insults - you know the type - they will typically be the old guards in the office who look down on new starters and complain every time they are asked to do something they deem outside their purview.

Well I’m afraid I have some news for those folks - there are people with different work experiences to you and they have every right to post here. It isn’t an echo chamber. We are allowed to offer differing opinions. I can also assure you, you will not hound me out like you have other posters on here previously. I have been around too long for that. You are only making the place a lesser experience for everyone else by dragging threads off topic time and time again.

As to why I won’t reveal my office - erm, why would I? Or why even should I for that matter? I’ve had multiple attempts to dox me on here and why do you think they would be doing that? For no good reason I’m sure.

You can call me a troll or accuse me of goading but you can go through my post history and I never initiate these hostilities. It is always the same handful of posters doing it? And I’m the troll? 🤔 Yeah right.

Its clear you enjoy the back and forth which is fair enough but to say your not dragging thread off topic as well is wrong,if you cared so much about the topic you would refrain from escalating it from time to time.

My posts are always on topic until the usual suspects arrive and derail things. I stand by that.

Now if only you learned to use the foe function and heeded the wisdom of your own words, the rest of us wouldn't have to be bored shitless by the dross you and others on here post.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I’m presuming you know how it works too?

On topic - we hit the target again last week. Another £50 in the pot.

This is all geared towards a “commit to deliver” all year round
No matter how much work they give you,you must complete,no protraction🤦🏻‍♂️

Open your eyes👍
You better believe it. That's already pencilled in for 2024/25. It's coming. Especially with watd and co at the helm of the union. Yous better change the whole senior team at the union or dare I say, start a new postal union. Really,what have you got to lose.?

Almost as weird as posting on a forum dedicated to a job you don’t do any more.

'It's hard but it's doable - you just need to have the right mindset,' says Jennifer Knight . 'I don't like to bring work back, you've got to have the right work ethic.'

Right work ethic? -how insulting to everyone who kills themselves every day for this outfit. You're not working hard enough Jennifer insinuates ( she cannot realise how she's being used) . It's Dickensian workhouse bullcrap dressed up as personal agency and personal pride. I was almost sick when I saw this from the thought police.
