I have been a Postman for 6.5 years and I have never known morals so low. Us posties are a hardy bunch-you really shouldn’t underestimate us. We work so hard day i day out. The morale is most offices is absolutely awful. In this weather the job is absolutely knackering. Last week I walked 45 miles in 4 days. Do you know how that feels? We’re not all 21 year olds eager to keep fit and with boundless energy. Combine this punishing physical regimen with a front line management culture which positively promotes and supports lying, deceitful and vile behaviour and now you may be able to begin to see my point. Royal Mail is broken. You are staring into the abyss as competition for parcels increases and letter volumes decline. I hope you still have any degree of integrity and credibility left, do yourselves a favour and look after your front line staff, for your own sakes.

f**k these c*nts. We are killing ourselves for what? Stand up for yourselves guys.
Take care of yourselves.

I've done 18 years and I've had enough of this company. This company is going to implode on its self. Doms and managers are the lowest forms of life on this planet.

well said , we are the ones earning this company money and lining the parasites pockets for 1 or 2 days a week of work they do and when they all have 2 - 3 jobs on top , the cwu are miles away from what goes on day to days in the offices , and the f***ing stress that staff are put through by b&h , and intimation tactics , but if we stick together this company would be nothing without the staff . lets stick together :thumbup , and I will not do anything to help these , do my hours and home no extra .

Just looking at some of the topic titles in blue shirts and union room, it’s depressing. Absolutely no respect for the workforce who are the backbone of royal mail.

You will get a generic reply designed to cover the management teams ar*es if they bother to reply at all. They might be too busy drinking coffee and catching up on paperwork.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Only chance you’ve got of making any change is if you can show it adversely affects shareholder profits.

I feel the pain though

Totally agree. Send it into the courier propaganda paper - I bet it won't get printed.
They take the profits, you take the blame
When they tell you there's no rise in pay

The reply will be interesting and probably contain more political spin than the whole of Westminster.

Sorry if my language offended anyone-had a a bit of a guilt trip after I posted this. The fact of the matter remains the same though. Some great replies. I’m glad I’m not alone. Keep your chin up guys. Look after yourselves.
