looked down on for having a good work ethic

[human1]

I come 40-50 minutes early, get out as soon as possible, no meal break, jump fences, cut cross and walk on lawn ( even get told off) leave troly at the end of street , put bag on my shoulder , put streets mail in it ( both side ) and put running shoes and run ... yes run ( this keep me healty and fit) and in the end of day I can make hour or two .... finish early and go home early... love it ...

Do you study latin at the same time

I can make an hour or two - sounds kinda weird. It is almost an American way of speak.

Anyway, 50 minutes early and make an hour or slightly more - not worth it; with all the running and the 'tongue in cheek' (I hope it is) of cutting corners like walking on grass etc.

You should be fit doing brisk walk over 1 hour or more and a healthy diet. Anymore, then you can do that at home or in the gym or take up a competitive sport.

I guess human1 has now changed into being deliberately controversial or funneh

coming in 50 mins early to finish an hour early ??
Are you mad??
You are saving yourself 10 mins than if you worked your time
Whats the point in that and soon RM will add another 30 mins to your round

Umm the clue was my posting

I hope he is using:

Reductio ad absurdum is the technique of reducing an argument or hypothesis to absurdity, by pushing the argument's premises or conclusions to their logical limits and showing how ridiculous the consequences would be, thus disproving or discrediting the argument.

Actually it is worse than that - he says he doesn't take his meal relief! So he comes in 50 mins early, finishes an hour early and without a meal relief is actually working more hours than contracted to! Without being paid for the extra work. A real hero! :rollseyes:

[mailman71]

Every postperson should have targets on delivery mine is simple to finish in front of the snail that follows me round

[fishtank]

however it seems to piss a few off that im a good worker

Who says you're a good worker?
You?
You're only a bum on a seat to management so your "efforts" are a pointless waste of time. Knock yourself out kid and when you need something back off the business you'll see exactly what you're worth to them.

[2pints]

The trouble is,your obviously better than anyone/everyone else at your office so i would not even bother with them as you are far too superior to worry about them.

[newtimes]

Live to your own standards, everyone is different, I have my own work ethic, to me is right to others it may be wrong.

[raikky]

I wish he had studies grammar insteed

Ive found that, myself and a few others are 'bitched' about because we are good at our job

I can get round the rounds quickly and efficiently, and this seems to annoy some.

I was always bought up to work hard and honest, and in doing so, gain the respect of those around you, however in royal mail, it seems if you work hard, you are the devil.

Ive had P/L partners telling me to slow down and if we have any left because of going slow, then that's the managements problem.

Don't get me wrong, I dont run, I dont lick ass, I just come in, get my head down, work hard for my shift, then go home, however it seems to piss a few off that im a good worker

You still believe in what you were encouraged to believe in at school and you have been encouraged to believe this by media and 'meathead managers' Leighton and Crozier brought in who all follow the cult of the 'self-made' person but claim they are 'working class' because they have regional accents, shaved heads and can afford overpriced tickets to football matches (the actual definition of 'working class' is someone who doesn't manage others and has no desire to manage others). Consequently you have grown up to be what is technically termed a 'mug'.

Our education system works on the idea that if you work hard and get top grades, you will get into a high status university and get rewarded with a job others will not have access to. Work for most people in the UK is not like this. The harder you work, the more you will be exploited because promotion is done by politics. If you want to become a manager your best chance is to have a relative who is already a manager. Failing that, shave your head and convince your bosses you are one of them by exaggerating your accent (so long as it's regional), spouting off about how you have worked hard for everything you got (don't mention any windfalls from right-to-buy or inheritance etc), talking shite about football and agreeing with everything in the Daily Mail.

If you work too hard, you will not get extra pay, promotion or salvation, you will just allow management to take hours out of your office.

Drink the coffee.

Sorry but I don't believe that you are doing your delivery safely. Quickly yes but not safely.

If you are walking very fast with a heavy bag on your shoulder which I suspect you are you have a whole world of pain awaiting you one day. Our office has many 'runners' (most now working indoors) who used to rush around with heavy bags but are now permanently hobbling around with damaged knees or ankles. That is what happens to you after years of rushing about. And who picks up the bill? Royal Mail. Most of these idiots get Ill-health retirement payouts and all that for their own stupidity. It costs the company a fortune in long-term sick pay and Ill-health payouts. You are not doing the company any favours at all - you people drain the company of funds at the end of the day. And you drain the country with your incapacity benefit claims too.

You should be sacked for delivering unsafely.

If you're young then working "quickly and efficiently" could be resented by someone three times your age who would accept a brisk pace from a colleague but not a 'quick' pace.
Worse is being 'bitched about' for doing the job properly, i.e. not doorstepping, not cutting across lawns etc.
