Same at our place too, we're convinced they're making the job miserable just so folks leave without them having to pay redundancy money, sad when you start thinking like that about your employer but hey ho.

Re: never felt so good
Many, many of us will empathise with you, bedrock. The job is totally shyte now, utterly and completely shyte, so shyte I could cry when I think of the cracking job it was and not that long ago too. CWU, bunch of useless feckin' shytes, and no mistake.bedrock wrote:after twenty two years service i have never looked forward to a weeks leave as i do today.like a lot of you blue shirts i am totally p####d off with the job ,me feet and legs feel as if i have run a marathon every day,i have totally lost faith with the union they only look after there own interests could,nt give a s**t about the front line posties,god only knows where they dig up these so called managers from ,we have had some idiots in the past but the one we have at present ,i wouldnt piss on him if he was on fire . all the bull s**t we read in the courier that the business is one big happy family they must live in a fantasy world of there own .now i keep my ears and eyes open and me mouth closed ,look after myself no one else will .well i got that of me chest ,with a bit of luck my lottery might come up while i am on leave and i wont have to go back to nightmare ta ta have have a nice week i know i dame will

Re: never felt so good
im coming to the end of my week off,
enjoyed every minute staying at home with my two year old daughter that im very highly considering jacking the job in to becoming a full time house husband. I dont want to go back monday, census worries and its always a mess on my frame when i go back. I hate what the job has become although i do love it when i interact with the great people on my round that truly appreciate my efforts unlike management.
I also found the time to quit the union this week which was probably the best thing to do seeing as they are as much of a shambles as royal mail.

Re: never felt so good
From next wenesday I am off for a fortnight and with all them bank holidays coming up, some well earned rest and time to give the feet a good soaking. This last two days have been horrendous. 5 D2Ds, approx 50 attended packets per day, nearly every house getting water bill and now Live Screening sending out to most houses. On top of that a shedload of flats and they expect you to finish on time. Only wish I had booked off from Monday as I am going to be lumbered with the Census crap and no doubt they havent, had the sense to stop the D2D contracts next week.

Re: never felt so good
Sense to stop D2D's cos of census forms, you must be joking, our frames were stacked high on our return today.
having to go in tomorrow on day off to book todays o/t cos they have hidden the docket sheet again, if I wait till next week it will never be paid, unacceptable,
will have to start cutting off but could do with the o/t
