Massive redundancies on deliveries

Sandyman · Post by **Sandyman** » 22 Dec 2008, 01:03

If Postman pat can clear in 15 minutes and have 5 brews en route, and numerous adventures, the job is well easy. Santa Claus' mileage is huge, as the crow flies it's about 64,000 miles around the world, in one night. No doubt :lfo & :cfo & :mfo will reckon that if Santa Claus can do the world in a night, he should be able to deliver all mail to the UK on a daily basis as a part-timer, in a day. All delivery staff will be made redundant, and Santa Claus will be employed on a 24 hour weekly contract to clear the country. If he doesn't, he will be conducted/ psychologically bullied / coerced on performance issues by the 12 managers in each remaining delivery office in the land to make damn sure he does.

Merry Xmas and a happy new year folks X

Yes but its not unheard of to have a wage decrease its happening in the UK already, certainly within the Car Manufacturing firms and businesses.

I wonder if his sleigh will take off when "Rudoplh" is flexed to afternoon collections and the other 6 still have to do his work.
