Re: Over Worked & Underpaid
I'm PT & have to come in early ( at lineo's request, so I book it ), work 6 days a week, and do a couple of SA collections a week to earn about £20k a year ( say an average of 57hrs a week ) on delivery....the national average wage is about £23k for 40hrs a week. So to answer your question, over worked & underpaid? You think?
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?
Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

Re: Over Worked & Underpaid
What a stupid poll. You ask anyone in any job and they'll say they're overworked and underpaid. Not only that, some on here think they should get paid just for showing up. 
Don't believe everything you're told in the rest room

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.

Re: Over Worked & Underpaid
If you were talking Mcdonalds then maybe but heck, the job isn't THAT hard. As for comparing it to top exec jobs - have you the qualifications or the nonce to do their job? I don't think so as you'd be doing it, and if you were, you'd be feet up in the evening instead of coming up with ludicrous defences for a poll like that.

Re: Over Worked & Underpaid
I know people having an opinion its down right disgusting, peons should know their place and stay in it. Roll on full Globalisation, eh NT, the workers wont have time to voice an opinion they'll be out spending what little they earn to boost the profits and earning of the fat cats.Night Tonic wrote:What a stupid poll.
