The PDA is supposed to be a working tool for us to do our jobs NOT a method for Royal Mail to vent their blasphemy to us via text message
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Agree.
IF I were wavering between a yes and no vote, all this propaganda forced on us through mail, wtl, pdas etc. has made me even more focused on voting YES. :crazy:

Blame (MOYA GREENE) so she likes to play with all our PDA's whist distracting us from our day to day jobs as she has nothing better to do than that bare faced propaganda even Joseph Goebbels would be peeing his pants with the opportunity of influencing us all with this latest technology yet it has not and will not work!

Sadly when the likely yes vote is announced and a date for strike set, RM will up the messages telling us not to strike. It wont be the end of the crap we get sent.

I voted yes because we were supposed to be visited by a senior manager to answer our questions but they decided not to show or give a reason for not showing.

Senior managers only show their faces when know we have all gone out. They do not want to face any questions from colleagues who may ask;.....what the f. is going on here, with not enough staff, low morale, DOM's who can't cope, lapsing, and any other embarrassing questions. We haven't seen an area manager for years, and when they do turn up, straight in DOM's office, where he/she sits and drink coffee until we have all disappeared. Can't wait for TUESDAY, Then WE can have our say. :nana

I think it's good RM use PDA's to get their propaganda across.

I know at least 4 people who were undecided as to how to vote, but these constant messages persuaded them all to vote yes.
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't a Rep.
