Relations between old guard and newbies

Don't worry though, everyone loves a self-pitying underdog. Best way to keep a business afloat

I’ve cited as fact because I was citing facts. Just because you don’t know it, doesn’t make it untrue.

Your “hard facts” seem to be quite wobbly and elastic, nor do they bear up to scrutiny.

In his most recent post to this forum Martin Walsh referenced there being 83,000 delivery OPGs. In one of its recent TV-style shows the CWU mentioned there being 19,000 new-entrant delivery OPGs. This means new entrants now make up almost a quarter of the delivery workforce (22.9% to be slightly more precise). This increase of several percentage points in less than a year, esp bearing in mind the supposed recruitment freeze while the takeover was going through, show that it is a steep-climbing trajectory.

My numbers are based on all employees.

Stop trying to find numbers in order to disagree with my numbers. You aren’t even a union member so do not have access to info.

If you don’t want to believe my numbers because they don’t fit your theory, fine.

I have identified and cited references for the figures I’ve quoted. You, on the other hand, have bandied your own “stats” around on this forum as though hard facts. As I say, your figures don’t bear up to scrutiny.

I don’t have to answer to you, whoever you are.

Choose to believe whatever you wish. Away and bother someone else.

How's your Sunday shift going? Mines has been bliss

What exactly is your point here other than attacking a fellow member of this forum??

I infer your chuckle is a tacit acknowledgment that you are indeed a “fellow member of this forum” rather than a colleague or fellow employee, ie you are tacitly acknowledging that you do not currently work for the business. Fair play to you.

On a follow-up point, I see you are still using the LondonsBurning username too. Please stick to the one username. Some other online fora actually have it as a forum rule that a person can only have one username - perhaps this forum might follow suit.

Beautiful, thanks. Done for 1.20 pm. Now in the garden enjoying the afternoon sunshine with a glass of vino.

Sure. Thanks for your help and enlightenment on the matter — not.

Sorry, not too familiar with emoticons, esp obscure ones. In my experience only idiots tend to use them.

You should probably lay off 'the vino' whilst browsing this forum then big man
