todays courier

Post by daveyeff »

it seems funny, it isnt due out until the end of the month, but, today is the day the union formally announce we are being balloted,,and surprise surprise, out it comes, TEN days early. full off the usual s**t, and even more annoying, more (of the same) shares crap and why we shouldnt go on strike. how damaging it would be to the company.!! :shock: no mention of how damaging privatisation would be. also, that fekkin world class mail crap.....they know full well its been totally dropped by the union, but its THERE, in you're face.!! its as if they are deliberately baiting us. im away forra shyte and ive ran out of bog roll. what could i use,,i wonder....rant over :Very Happy

normally, no. but todays reason was because there was someone in who used to work in our office. he,s in a new office now which was highlighted because of the revision. he said the new way of working is much better? he wouldnt go back to the old way of working, which was entirely puzzling because when he was at ours, he was a 'runner'. coming in early and he was nearly always going home at about 10 am. why would he want to go home at 3pm instead of 10 am. the mind boggles.

The world class mail insert is comical. Some office using WCM tools called the way to teach people (TWTTP :left: ) have put purple stickers on tracked items and calderway delivery office has a mirror on the wall to check your tread on your shoes. You couldn't make this shite up yet RM throw millions into this. Glad we pulled out of all involvement.

Just refuse it lads. :thumbup After a while you'll get a letter from HR saying, "We've noticed you keep returning the Courier...if you don't want it anymore fill this slip in and return it". Now I don't get it anymore....and guess what? I don't miss it. :Very Happy

No more of that shall I read it? Shall I bin it?... No I'll read it....Bugger now they've gone and wound me up again, I shouldn't have read it! :arrrghhh
