NOT REALLY GROWN UP AND NOT REALLY THE TRADE UNION WAY . Nope, its called what really happened and couldn't give a toss about Moya,s union.Hey , maybe all new starters can come in work every day and the older postmen can throw there deliveries out for them while they have a brew and a fag, Oh and put a tenner a piece extra in there pay packet, they deserve it much more than them old uns.

Did you mention it was a 6 day week, got wet through on the first delivery, 40 minute break and then went through it all again and got wet through for a second time - oh and as for a 4 letter 2nd delivery...............our 2nd deliveries when I started consisted of all 2nd class mail and all mailsort - usually bigger than the first delivery and you really did have to motor to get that sucker finished.

Im expected to cover any walk I'm put on.......getting close to thirty duties now......I just don't care.....they only have me till my finish time.....if I want overtime I work it...if not I'll cut off...

I get "old timers" trying it on but I've learned to politely decline and be aware of what work I should be doing....I get paid the same as the folk that have been there for a while and almost cry if they have to do another walk...

Some have actually said that as I've only been in a couple of years I know nothing.....

Well I'd argue that point but seing as I'm not scared for my job and don't skive to survive I don't even bother I just treat others as they treat me.

Its a bummer when you get left standing in the rain lol ...

But back on point ...if you have been in the job for years...should everyone be treated as badly as you were when you started?
If the answer is yes....then you missed the point of societal progression.

Hey I'm not illiterit, I can reed a bit though anything over 4 joined up letters

I used to slag off seniority ,now I've got some and used it I think it's a bloody great idea, when I started I did my rip on every or any duty usually the office shocker, you just have to put your time in. I've been pulled off my duty because a reserve does not know a duty, how are you suppose to learn if you never do it, it's not like they would send you out with a map and you start there see you later like they used to pre p&l

Could you send me a picture of the idealist position spider - oh and cc in TBT who I believe is also KS curious

[clashcityrocker]

The argument appears to be: My uncle buggered me so my nephew should accept his buggering gladly.

I prefer to try and emulate those posties who have helped me rather than those that have tried to shaft me.
The strong helping the weak - that's the trade union way.

[dvbuk55]

Was the trade union way clash - that sentiment has long gone - from the top down.

I find in my office its the young 'uns (new starters) who are carving the job up, to the Doms pleasure of course. What the hell would they be like if they were on a, so called, 'easy' walk?

Its not the usual position adopted by those who believe that to succeed you must be servile
Helping?

In my experience as a spare we do get pressurized by our p+l partners into coming in early, not taking breaks and run around like mad, because that's exactly what their regular partner does. All the DOM see's is that the regular duty-holders always finish well before time why shouldn't you. I always fear the worst when DOM says I'm on an easy walk this week because I know it'll be the exact opposite.

It's definitely not only the new-starts who make this job more difficult than it needs to be.
