Shall we all refuse free Stamps?

Stamps are a free gift that costs the business nothing to give to staff.
Staff want a Decent bonus not 50 stamps.
Its the staff that generate the huge profits at xmas

You can use them to post parcels too, not just letters. It's not much but it's better than nothing.

20 stamps a person? I get 50!

20 or50. Still just Drawer fodder that will never be used. How many people send letters now?

Rather have nothing.
Its a fake gift.
It costs Royal Mail nothing to give us stamps.we see the usual profits fallong just before november. Royal Mail make over half the profits in November and December. The staff work twice as hard and get nothing. Grrrrr.!!

Why are they (we get 50 1st class stamps each year

) a "fake" gift ? Personally l look forward to the stamps arriving every Christmas. It's a nice gesture from the business which of course has financial implications for them !

I find they come in handy when attached to the top right-hand corner of envelopes containing Christmas Cards that I send to friends and family around this time every year. They are certainly not useless...perhaps you have no friends or family... I do not know ? I suggest you lighten up and and consider sending one or two festive greetings this year... it'll make you feel happy inside.

And to suggest we get "nothing" for working twice as hard over the Christmas Period is utter fantasy on your part. Hand back the Christmas Bonas and Free Postage Stamps if you are really as angry as your post suggests

if we refuse them and what do you think RM will do ? give us all another £100 ?!? that aint happening
just take the stamps, you`ll probably end up using them eventually even if its sending a large parcel sometime in the future.

Why dont you give them to someone who use's them instead of hoarding them.

Would prefer to have 70 2nd class ones

I have 15 for myself and send the rest to a charity. I still have a few left from Christmas 2016.

Royal Mail do a few things that I like to moan about, but giving me free stamps every Christmas certainly isn't one of them
