Maybe i will get slated for going against the grain but it is so damn annoying and makes moral low. just get on with it or give it up!
The hand that feeds me has also been trying to slap my arse every day, that's probably the case for most people on here.

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.

I love a post with a soupcon of sexual frisson.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

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???.. :nervous

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.

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 ?
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. :dance
