RMTV what a waste of time and money

Post by eastie »

WTL watching RMTV is a total waste of time and money when they turn it on the DOM tries to get posties to watch it but nobody is interested in RM properganda and are on their mobiles , talking amongst themselves etc.especially when we pipe up about them wasting money on these TV's but conveniently forget about our money still owed to us since our revision 18 months ago.

I used to go to sleep. Luckily the rest made enough noise when it was over to wake the dead.

Anyone else noticed how that woman on it must mention the words "external capital" at least 10 times per show ?

It's pathetic, reminds me of the nazi propaganda films from ww2

It always amazed me how much Royal Mail spend their money on everything but our wages and tight with overtimes.

Everybody is too busy to even look at it, and then when forced to watch it in WTL it seems a bit like a CBeebies media delivery style. Pathetic and another worrying waste of resources.

Too right. Maybe the business needs capital. But it doesn't have to be external capital :arrrghhh

Does anyone know if that irritating woman is a proper postie? The way she keeps saying 'we' makes her sound like a cyborg who has been programmed to spout the company line. She should not be wearing the uniform, if she is merely a company spokesperson. :no no

Isn't "external capital" Newspeak for privatisation though?

I heard these super big widescreens cost £2k+ and had some sorta transmitter installed for a "national" broadcast from Leighton/crozier a few years ago.

We used to have most of our wtl vids on a crappy portable as it wasn't linked up for the vid (or dvd?) machine. :arrrghhh

I was beside them while they were filming last year.The woman tells the uniformed staff what to say and then have to say it on camera in their own words.They wanted me to be on camera but i declined.If i can't say what i really think,than i don't want to know.
