Two stories, kinda weird, anyway Liverpool & Bristol at the mo...

Liverpool

Bristol


EDIT:kinda makes sense now with the comments...

Shows how desperate Trinity Mirror Group publications are now to generate click related revenue. Reporting actual news comes a distant second.
Trinity Mirror is the owner of Fish4jobs.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

"The benefits on offer cover everything from child care to days out." :crazy:
Is, or was, the "days out" free entry to English Heritage ? :cuppa
And there's no mention of the only real benefit, fifty first class stamps at Christmas, so is Moya putting a stop to that ? :thumbdown

The newspaper industry is dead on its feet these days and generally, an awful place to be.

Be kind. For some miserable hack grinding out 15 to 20 articles a week for slave wages, driving a lorry around must be the most wonderful escape fantasy. Don't burst their bubble.

From the Bristol website:
You must enjoy driving, even at peak hours and be able to lift and carry parcels weighing up to 30kg and be willing to work paid overtime including possible Saturday overtime.
Or to put it bluntly, you'll get a part time contract but required to work full time hours :arrrghhh
