We'll be millionaires Rodney...

Seriously though where will we be?, what will the job look like?, will we get our pay rise, will we ever see a manager with dress sense....that kind of bollocks.

More of the same I think. We had so much changes over last few years. It will be harder to make even more changes. :crazy: :chuckle :cuppa

Won't stop them trying though. They will only be happy when there is nothing left. They, being senior management, quite what they are managing is open for discussion though......

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I would like to see Royal mail successfully sued for the damage it has done to our bodies with Park and loop,obviously not all offices have had crazy revisions (London) but from what I hear and talking to other postal workers when I go on courses it seems a lot have.

I reckon we'll see the introduction of special delivery drones, google glass PDAs and flux capacitor driven Fiat Doblos.

They'll try and do it even cheaper.

We've got through this Christmas in our office without a single dedicated packet driving duty. All we've had is a guy on light duties doing some here and there and some gone on OT. The longest we've had packets sat next to our frame before being delivered is 6 days. Oh, and our MC failed today too.

Yet RM will claim it all has been a massive success and that they've 'delivered Christmas' for our customers. The simple fact is they could not give a flying sh*t about customers or they wouldn't treat them with contempt and actually put the hours into offices to get the job done properly.

Damage? Didn't they keep quoting 'weight off the shoulder'. Don't know bout you but my bag weight wad always on the bike not my shoulder! I've never been as tired as these last 3 yrs on shared vans and foot. Getting rid of bikes was the worst thing they have done financially and for the wellbeing of staff. So many more now have hip, back, foot and knee complaints from walking 8-10 miles a day.
