Courier stories are made up - fact

[banddy]

it's a waste of resources.

they have absolutely nothing of interest story wise as it's all propoganda and the "discount offers" are a joke.

i,e...spend £3000 on a holiday and get 10% off.

i'd like to know if any ordinary posties can afford £3000 holidays!! seriously.

Can anyone on here confirm or deny that the stories printed in the management rag 'Courier' are statements by real characters. In my office there isn't a single person would go along with any of the comments stated. They most definately wouldn't pose for pictures with thumbs up commending the management's ideas. It's gotta be a stitch up.

welcome 2 the real world......eastenders and coronation street........

I'm writing a letter to the courier right now actually, to tell them how my DIM came out in his car today with flasks of hot soup to keep us hard working Posties going in this foul weather! I would willingly sell my wife and children to help out RM if needed!! Que: Cheesy Smile & Thumbs UP

Someone from my office was on the front page of the Courier a few years back, said person was an office person and had never done a delivery before yet for the front page they were photographed in the sunshine with an empty pouch over their shoulder with a comment under along the lines of "so and so out and about on delivery blah bah" The actual Postie who delivered where the photograph was taken wasn't amused lol

my uncle appeared in one a couple of years ago and hes a git

I loved that comment

I haven't read it for quite a while now. All I do is carefully open the wrapper. And dispose it all in my re-cycle bin straight away. For all I know there could be a wad of tenners in there and I wouldn't notice...

I would have thought RM are not that stupid to think it is 'read' by normal staff. And any company looking to save a few bob. Should have their sights on this waste straight away. All it is self-opinionated properganda from one side. It is never questioned by anyone. Taking pictures of 'staff' who clearly went to bed the previous night with a coathanger wedged in their mouth. Who in their right mind would have their picture taken smiling leaning over a machine with a lanyard/identity badge dangling dangerously close to machinery.

I'd love to know what the budget for this wasteful rag is?

Courier journo's turned up at our place, must be about 10-12 years ago, took the story about our management/staff focus group, took a couple of pictures and buggered off. Story was printed and the lads/gaffer in the group made the front page pic.

I always flick through it to see what the latest RM bile is. To anticipate your employer's next move, you must look into the mind of your employer, and from there try to unravel their perverse rationale as a means to examining your own role within their twisted games. That, at least, is what I tell my intelligent friends. To the others, yon Courier is a literary masterpiece perfectly reflecting the views of I, the proletariat Royal Mail postman. O! Royal Mail, how truly great thou art. Thou, whose wondrous lustre I bask in. Please take me farther along the journey, for I kneel worshipful before you.

Let her drink what she likes.
It is like having our own Jane Austen live and direct on RMC.

Rent boy/shafted by RM... no difference really. Rent boy was probably better pay but unsociable hours.
