Get Out Of The Royal Mail Shambles ASAP.....
It's not going to get better - it's a dying business, run from the top, down to the bottom, by snide cretins who'd stab their own Granny to keep their jobs.
The old days are gone, and they ain't coming back. Your Union have sold you out. They are now paper tigers - 'management' (loose term) only pay lip service to them. They can't save you. Re-train, go to College, get down the Job Centre, start your own business - anything, but do SOMETHING. You'll never win.
You think it's bad now....? Just wait....

unusual way for a multi millionaire to pass his time Ken,have you any other nuggets of wisdom for the working man...
Don't know if you have noticed but unemployment is rising and the government is slashing training schemes and other
forms of support so the plain truth of the matter is there is no easy escape for most in Royal Mail otherwise there would
be a mass exodus to the promise land you thinks exists.

I always wondered if Mr Bates had a son and how they addressed him formally.

The promised land does exist - there's a better life waiting for you, outside Royal Mail. Lots of Royal Mail staff are 'institionalised' - they've been there too long, and are too frightened to take a leap into the 'unknown'.
But the best thing that ever happened to me was being sacked. Slowly but surely, over the many years, I'd grown to hate my job, but was too comfortable to do anything about it - I told myself that 'it was better than nothing' and that things would get better. They didn't, and they never will.
Royal Mail is dying - the only consolation to staying, is that you will soon see all the DOMs and their many nasty little assistants being made redundant. They're more frightened than YOU, about losing their jobs.
I used to love working for Royal Mail - it was something to be proud of. When Bill Cockburn left was when the rot really set in, but it'd been coming for years. Cockburn was the last of the breed. The CWU are spineless - spent so long alienating the public, that no-one cares anymore. Alan Johnson is the biggest sell-out of the lot.
Ken.

Sorry Ken...but you can't advise people to leave the business because you are in a different position to us.
You can never regret your decision to leave Royal Mail because the decision was made for you.

When dsa came along that was the end for me, and knowing that hernias are on the increase and injuries.
