So on what basis did you feel you had the knowledge and authority (personal not managerial) to post such comments as.

OK everyone is entitled to their view, but if it has no basis in experience or fact then I am afraid your opinion is practically worthless

Could El-carto be back?? Perhaps he meant to say I don't work for royal Mail anymore!

I still love the job even with the way its changed over the years(23),I do my 8hr day with a smile most of the time.First 4 full of funny as f**k banter on the ips and prep and then the last 4 hitting the streets and chatting with my punters.Then again I dont let what the lino's do or say effect me and they know it, so dont bother me.I think alot (not all) postman who winge about the job only do it because they cant get over doing a full 8 hr day and want it back to how it used to be.If you accept your not gonna make any time so pace yourself accordingly you find you dont get nearly so stressed about the job.

I'm not sure you are supposed to enjoy your job, that is why you get paid to attend?

9 year old thread. What took you so long?

Lapsing probably.

A very Victorian view, I prefer the other approach. A happy worker is an efficient and proficient worker.

I’m happy, best job I’ve ever had, I get paid for the hours I work and am treated fairly most of the time.

Downsides: holiday pay issue and job security worries.

Lack of organisation is a problem too, a lot of which could be sorted very simply

Just as an example, things like spending 5 minutes looking for the van every single day (we have 70/80 vans)....that’s 20 hours a year wasted multiplied by most workers here. Could be so easily sorted by having a column in the log book where you write down the bay number you’re parked in (or if you don’t have numbered bays, you simply write ‘near main entrance’ or ‘next to tyre inflator‘).
