I dont even work for Royal Mail yet but know wonder morale is low as a lot of people on this site do nothing but whinge whinge whinge and slag colleagues off.

Get a grip. Think yourself lucky you have a f***ing job, do your own and f**k whatever else anyone else does. Simple as that

You haven't started yet. Wait till you've been doing the job a while and you'll know why people are pissed off.

Fair enough, I can accept that.

But slaggin someone off for workin on a Sunday has nothing to do with anyone else to be honest. They could be skint and need the extra money.

Yeah that's fair comment. I work on Sundays in a Mail Centre. It's the only OT I do, and need to do it to make ends meet. Cost of living is high in London. Would rather not do it. And I can understand why delivery posties might be doing D2Ds on a Sunday if that's the only way to make a bit extra, especially coming up to Christmas.
But it was the tone of your comment that might put people's backs up. Chill out mate or you might not be to popular when you start in your workplace.

Yeah I know what you mean, my morale head is taking over my thinkin head

that's exactly what :lfo & his

would want you to say & turn the clock back 80 years , RM use that other one you used , it's deliberately anti-union ; purely to impress .

You'll find out exactly what RM & their screws are really like and you'll soon come running cap in hand to the CWU if you've been stitched up or on a RTU

We'd a idiot @ the zoo, he might well have impressed the idiot MCM & personnel but He had to be told that if he took it on himself to try & be team leader when most of the lads lost a lot of money fighting it , the union would take a serious view of the matter , one word out of place & he'd be on a B&H .Left shortly afterwards moaning about no team work . Hope the job at Burger King suited him better .

This is a public service RM , not McDonalds

From a Non Posties point of view your point has merit. However Royal Mail are taking the water at the moment with Door To Doors which is why there are some strong feelings about it.

Main points are.

1. On the this part of the job we have not had a rise in payments since it started.
2. Royal Mail say we have to take them there is no option not to.
3. Royal Mail say we are underworked and overpaid. So underworked people are catching up on Sundays.
4. RM tried to take the payment away from us during the last round of pay talks and wanted to increase the amount we deliver. This is now going to be discussed early next year,
5. Royal Mail managers say that they should be prepped in you own time and the union dispute this.

So as you can see there is a Poltical stance within Royal Mail (as in workers V bosses) about this subject which is why D2D discussion and threads can get very heated.

TBH I was amazed when I first started how autocratic and inflexible Royal Mails Man Management system is, and I worked in the Forces where you can be sent off on life threatening tasks at the drop of a hat. But at least bosses and erks worked together to get the task done, RM from my viewpoint seems to be a case of B&H'ing to get the job done and therefore team spirit and working together is foreign territory to RM.

I hold my hand up - I don't know the in's and out's I just went off on one simply because I thought some guy is just tryin to earn an extra few quid for himself.
