Where will RM be in 5 years!!!!!

Post by steven100 »

As the topic says "where will rm be in 5 years"

Prediction no rm will be run be tnt or someother big overseas company. Workforce will be mainly part-time and conditons will be pish poor. No union will exist and pension will be non-existent, in fact you'll have to put your pension in a new pension. This doesn't look rosy but its my prediction. Oh and D2D will increase with no extra payment.

Could be true though, Labour never gave a flying f**k about us and things will be even worse under the tories when they get in :sad:

privatised by the next government.

Sorry guys, ok i'll do a cheery one now.
RM will have a full quota of full-time staff delivering 4.30 hours delivers plus 10 D2Ds daily to every delivery point. You'll get a £100 every month to do them. The pension pot will be filled by the government (this may happen) and no privatisation :crazy: :crazy: .

Actually maybe its not so cheery.

Never mind 5 years in 5 months the Tories could of sold us off to the highest bidder. I reckon their strategy is to eventually have all deliveries made by self employed drivers, like parcelforce, because in 5 years who will still be sending letters?

The agreement that we are waiting on and the P&M one will still be in,don't forget the one we're waiting o is to run for 3 years,after the 3 years,i have a funny feeling that we will be in the s**t because the mail volumes would of or will rise.

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.
