Sure when TNT take over they will be wanting a pay cut never mind pay rise

Thank's T.B.T

No worries sorry I did not reply to your PM but I copied and pasted your post and then had to do a sharp exit in the real world.

I'd forego this year payrise if they would give me 10 minutes using my DOM as a piñata but I fear that my lack of seniority would mean there would be little left after everyone else in the office had their 10 minutes

Maybe Mandy would volunteer his services to Mexican culture

I don't know what that is but it sounds rude.

Something to do with twinning Barnsley and Puentecillas I think.

No worries and thanks once again.

Forget nothing, forgive less

We'd achieve even less with that attitude.

Obviously, we should never forget the past. And we should take past betrayals into account, whenever we're negotiating. That way we will reduce the risk of falling for the same tricks again. But why shouldn't we forgive?
It's not easy, I know. But how can we ever progress, if we bear grudges indefinately?
What's done, is done. We can't change the past. All we CAN do, is try to repair the damage done to our pay, conditions, pension, and above all: to the service provided by RM. Which, let's face it, is a pale reflection of what it was just a decade ago.

And that Andy is why us common folk will always get shat on You make the assumption that our overlords are endowed with a moral compass,some sense of equity maybe even a conscience . Think on ,in their world, self interest is king, call it Mandelsonian morality.
Ps You ain't from Yorkshire are you?

No I'm not from Yorkshire, I live in the Greater Manchester area. Although I'm originally from Lancashire.

But you're wrong about me assuming that our so-called superiors (yeh, right!), have a Moral Compass. But does their lack of Morality, mean that we should abandon ours?
No. We should take the Moral high ground, and show the Country, just what kind of people we're having to deal with. And more importantly, that we're not just a bunch of lazy, greedy, fools. Stuck in the past, with no vision for the future. Which is how they're trying to portray us.

We should stand up, and be counted. As people who know far more about this service, than that bunch of fools "at the top". And that we have important contributions to make, towards saving RM from being run into the ground. And that we are a force to be reckoned with, for the so-called competition!
