Christmas Casual Concerns!
After the events of the last week or two,i can't help feeling worried that we may face real problems recruiting at Christmas this year. Most of the casual staff Royal Mail usually employs to occupy it's warehouses will either be in jail,or won't need a job as they've already stocked up on dvd's,phones,electical appliances and anything else they can get there hands on!

Whilst not against the rules your post does one thing I hate. You assume everyone from somewhere are all the same in other words you put people in little boxes and expect them to fit. Cameron and the Daily Mail do that and I dislike both for the same reason
Here is a fact that might come as some surprise.
Thieves come from all countries, as do Heroes. Murderers live in every nation as do law abiding people. I am aware of no single nation or territory that suffers a singular idiosyncrasy of humans and then deports it to other country, I would be amazed if anyone had.
Please don't base peoples morality on their nation of birth, but rather their own actions.

Re: Christmas Casual Concerns!
As you may or may not be aware, Eastern Europeans have been filling the gap in the country's labour force for years, doing jobs where local recruitment has failed. If it works for other industries, why not Royal Mail?TrueBlueTerrier wrote:You assume everyone from somewhere are all the same in other words you put people in little boxes and expect them to fit...

Re: Christmas Casual Concerns!
the guys who were sacked in our office for stealing were english, But with any company theft will be a problem, and causes additional costs.

Re: Christmas Casual Concerns!
Am I missing something here?
Bunkerland stated that there may be a shortage in casual workers this Christmas and Staphylococcus stated that there would be plenty of East European immigrants willing to work for RM.
Whereabouts did Staphylococcus mention that they were all thieves? Nowhere I can see yet people have put these words in his mouth and others have applauded this act!
Personally I think that Bunkerlands statement that the majority of casual employees RM usually use are prone to rioting and looting is a much clearer example of "put(ting) people in little boxes and expect(ing) them to fit..."

And that's exactly how I personally took your post, light hearted. - I simply don't understand the completely misguided righteous moral crusade against Staphylocuccuss' post.bunkerland wrote:Quite right Spooner,and i would have gotton away with it if it hadn't been for your meddling post!CharlesSpooner wrote:
