Shoot The Messenger. Ignore The Message. Wonder why you get f*cked in the long run because you're too dumb to see what's right in front of you.
All you see is life inside your MC and your DO. You never see the rest of the world. You have no idea what you're talking about, either. All you see is workflow and delivery targets. You don't see long term business trends, open market competition, TNT payslips, their automation levels (around 400% of the RM's), changing market volumes, changing business models.
No wonder the RM is in such a state. I'm done with this. I can't even try to communicate with you. All I get is a load of shite and abuse. I was on your side, but after turning up and trying to contribute a different perspective to be greeted with such disrespectful abuse, I'm inclined to think that whatever you get you deserve. You don't treat anyone else with respect - don't expect any back either. Most Posties are great chaps. Some aren't. Just like everyone everywhere.
Enjoy your life on the sinking ship. I'm out before I get dragged down with the rest of you. The attitudes you display here to anyone who isn't an obsequious ass-kissy Blue Shirt are disgusting. Ever wonder why some management look down on you? You treat people around you like s**t in some antiquated Class War model. People treat you the way you treat them. I was never anything other than respectful and I got told to F*ck Off. Your loss.
Mark my words.
Automation will come : tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs. I've seen it coming for years - and nothing you or anyone else will do can change that. No amount of striking can save you.
The Good Old Days are long gone and when this is over, the RM will be a very different place. Bury your head in the sand, hope for the best : and you'll get the worst. It's a great shame as it will ruin thousands of lives and communities. Then we'll see how much guts you have - these oh so precious morals you bang on about - when the 'job for life' disappears and you have no transferable skills at the same time as the workforce suddenly has 40,000 people looking for any job they can do just to stay alive. Ugly times ahead. The world is changing. Change with it - or become extinct.
F*ck me? You did it to yourself. You. Senior Management. Postcomm. You did it to yourself because you didn't want to see what was happening around you. I hope it works out - but it won't. The more you lie to yourselves the worse it's going to get. And it's going to be bad.
Goodbye.
