Erm I disagree... it WAS good for what we do now it's mediocre at best! :whistle
Quite ,you are paid at 25% less than the manual workers average, but it is all relative,monkeys and nuts, and if you are well chuffed with it then long may it continue :chuckle

This job has sent me mental, let alone a little grumpy. My sanity went a long time ago.

Yes!
No wonder with the RM propoganda machine painting pictures of doom and gloom all the time, created by itself and the government.
Look at the front page of 'The Courier', thats enough to make anyone grumpy!
Always be one step ahead, play their game but be wiser. Revenge is sweet.

Makes me grumpy. Not only has this job turned me into the female version of Victor Meldrew its made me not want to go out and socialise. Probably due to being too knackered or being spaced out on pain meds.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Job: No.
Because of some colleagues I work with: Yes.
Because of some management I work with: Yes.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
