Standing health

[Sortlettersallday]

I looked around at work today and I noticed that the majority of the Angard staff don't get seats whilst sorting the letters but the RM employed staff do... why is that?
My back hurts so much from standing all day in the same place! I'm a healthy person in my mid twenties and when I look around I just saw everyone holding their backs and rubbing their knees.
The managers seem to ignore this.

Is there anything we can do?

Crazy what we will do to our long term health just to pay bills.

Delivery staff spend all day on their feet, you get used to it after a while (it's unfortunate that you'll not get the time to adjust).

At the sorting office i am at (hull, malmo road), there are fold out seats at the pidgeon hole sorting section, also there are seperate seats provided.

Unlike every other unskilled labour where you obviously get a comfy chair :P

As for Bellend Boy, you don't seem to have the intelligence to make a single eloquent point on these boards.

Please stop using text speak when posting messages. This is the 2nd friendly request and if you choose to ignore it I will have to start taking official action.

I am not doing this to be be a pain but for 2 reasons:

1. Other members have been complaining and pointing out, quite correctly text speak is against the rules of this forum.

Please use ordinary English, no 'text talk' or posts entirely in LARGE CAPS which in internet etiquette is known as shouting.

2. Text speak is not understood by everyone and we are trying to make RMC accessible to all age groups.

As this is a friendly warning I should state that if you continue to ignore my requests then I can delete any posts falling foul of this rule, I can also issue formal board warnings, and ultimately I can ban you either permanently or temporarily. Please therefore accede to this polite request or face the consequences.

Your a man of contrasts - you moan about other people not doing the job properly and then moan when I do. Ah well - Warning issued.

I vote for banning the troll, he's probably a Daily Express journalist (certainly sufficiently inarticulate and rude)
