Let's not get things out of proportion.
It's a job.
You go to work, do your job and go home.

Work isn't and never should be, the be all and end all of your existence.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

The job has ruined a lot of people's social lives and interests outside of Royal Mail because they have changed the hours . Guys who've been goin to football for years , not bought season tickets etc . Too knackered to do anything after work now . Well done moya in getting you're bonus of £500,000 you deserve more than that , I feel really happy for you!

That's the thing , how many people play or watch sport on a Saturday afternoon
Or watch their kid play
It was something to look forward to at the end of the week
If all you have is this to keep you going !!

lets hope everyone is now learning what a great agreement you was told to say yes to by our union.
the changing of times should never have happened and as for working longer on saturdays was a disgrace.
but how many staff would go back to the old times of working.

My theory is that if they make the job unbearable enough, more people will leave. That way they can replace more of us with casuals and part timers.
Vote no on the "Agreement"

I would say only work to your time but you have got to have thick skin/don't care attitude to deal with the pressure from the managers every day. The people who come in early in our office are left alone the people who do the job as it was designed are harnessed and put under pressure everyday.

Bollox i like this way of working, i prefer rolling into work for 7am every morning than going back to the 5 starts years ago, if anything, im less tired now than then. Plus the non delivery of the dreaded sky mags, and now using trollies how can any1 say they are more tired? Surely the lack of and no weight on shoulder outweighs walking that extra half hour pulling a trolley. Its pure BS that any1 can complain of being more tired
