Eeer Eeer. :Applause Well said, but there aint many of us left I'm afraid. Too many worried for their jobs. Moya's boys know in an employers market running up to privatisation, they've got em by the short & curlies.
If only we could persuade more to do the job properly and not give into to all this intimidation. :arrrghhh
Everyone is equal in Royal Mail, but some are more equal than others!

Sadly we are the minority, Union powerless on what is a massively serious matter....
Hours and hours could be put back into most offices that are post revision, if only it wasnt for selfish tossers

Ask the night crew how many suckers are starting work before time, putting door to doors in, managers are saying yes.

I have no fundamental objection to bonus schemes for managers, or OPGs for that matter. The problem with the current managers bonus scheme is that it fails two of the fundamental principles of good incentive scheme designs which is firstly that it should be reasonably straightforward and simple to understand and secondly that the employees working towards that bonus should be able to directly influence it (without this it is merely a payment scheme rather than an incentive scheme). The current scheme is convoluted and overly complicated and there are a large number of managers (admin/planners/support) who cannot influence it but still reap the benefits.

In my old health and safety rep days you were only insured 10 mins before your start time.

So, very illegal if thats still the case !

You're insured just as long as you're an employee and have business on the premises otherwise we could only work our contracted hours.
