Royal mail is in decline. Only employ the worst characters as managers now. Could be turds who's job disappeared and rather than take redundancy turn up at your shithole. My body is total f****d, I can hardly move properly anymore. 5 years to go. My biggest worry is harassment from some young manager who wants to mess me around. They will fail and receive severe stress in return, but will force me to put work in to defend myself above processing the mail for the public.

You are so correct ,after 38 years of service and fed up with incompetent management and bullying to do the lapsing and a union that is not worth the payment,going home every day feeling exhausted and dreading having to go to work tomorrow.
I quit and it’s the best thing I ever did
The s**t show they call management don’t give a toss about you or how long you have worked for the firm ,sod them life is to short

Terry live an hour ago ,he wasnt interested , workforce unhappy , angry and frustrated , he just goes blah blah blah , worst this company had ever been. Hes lucky we dont all pull our union fees for say a month
The trouble with all these turds is they have no idea what being a postie is all about these days, it's years since they did a tap, there more interested in keeping off the bag and going on jolly meetings and brown nosing their counterparts, there all the same, ask yourself why this union that was once militant and on strike nationally fairly often, hasn't had a national strike in ages, and it's not got anything to do with bent judges either, ask yourself when a unit finally snaps over something, there back indoors and doing the work again within a day or so, full of bullshit we will have an independant bloke in etc etc who always sides with whatever the management say.
There must be a reason they all showed an interest in "union politics" in the first place. Fear of work perhaps.

For a straight forward job there are far to many people stressed out that tells you how bad management is from top to bottom, Christmas will be mayhem. Walks are being left now only tracked n reg going out its a mess and its going to boil over in the next six weeks.

Are you ok bill? I wouldn't agree that death is the only way out - certainly not for the mind or spirit...
