Have you appeared in the courier? I get the feeling that you are one of the grinning halfwits who adorn the pages of that paper,or maybe you are a world class mail champion.fishcake wrote:I came on forum (rarely) to reasearch the shares and am surprised how many comments there are slagging of rm! every job has good points and bad points but if you feel such bad feeling for the hand that feeds you, what the heck are you doing still working for them? give it up and give the position to somebody who would appreciate it.

I love a post with a soupcon of sexual frisson.bandit1157 wrote: The hand that feeds me has also been trying to slap my arse every day.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: why do so many postmen/women moan so much about rm?
There is definitely something fishy going on here!, too many questions, why don`t you like the job?, why don`t you leave??, I wonder if it`s because some of us have stopped filling in the `have your say` survey and they have to find new means???..

Re: why do so many postmen/women moan so much about rm?
Yes every job has good points and bad points, ever increasing work load, extra work added even when people haven't got time to complete the work they already have, people being bullied into working beyond their time, in some cases without being paid for it, an increasing number of part timers, who are also being expected to work past their contracted hours, even though they may have child care issues or other employment commitments, being expected to come in early to do work that was meant to be done, by the dwindling number of full time workers. Of course there are the good points...er...erm ....er, if I think of one I'll be back.

Quite easy really, do 20+ years then when there is a re-sign after a revision you use your experience and knowledge to spot a decent P&L duty, and no you don't need to be 'a chosen one'. Love P&L and would never go back to a bike even if offered. Lets face it, Wednesday & Thursday can be a bit heavy on delivery, the rest of the time it's money for old rope.Puppetmaster wrote:If their was employment out their ,RM would see a mass exodus of staff ,their are few jobs out their so you are trapped .
Some staff at RM have it nice and cushty and a nice little number with no hassle, can only assume you are one of the chosen ones.
Have worked at lots of different places over the years and worst treatment by bosses has been with RM .
WHY SO MANY STRIKES AT THE MOMENT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ?
Staff ,are just so fed up with poor unfair treatment by bosses who refuse to listen.
How do you get a cushy job like yours ?
