If you cant stand the heat leave
Do they moan about their jobs too? That's a big YES, everyone does!
Its an outside job, everyone knew this before they started. Stop moaning and get on with it.

Many, including myself, signed up for a job that ended at midday. Summer didn't change. The outdoors didn't change. The job did.
The machine stops.

Yes the job is largely an outdoor occupation. That does not allow it to operate outside of the health and safety laws of this country or the EU. Royal Mail obviously, like you, believe that it does. No doubt you would be the first to slap in a compensation claim if you were taken down with sun stroke or even struck by lightning. These are the type of issues that are covered within health and safety regulations and it is illegal for a company to operate outside of sensible laws laid down for the protection of employeees.

Kids used to get stuck up chimneys - bet they were told the same.
Miners used to die in tunnel collapses fairly regularly - bet they were told the same.
Worsted Mill operators were killed by the moving parts of their machines - bet they were told the same.

I am sorry to inform you that there are no Victorian Overseer jobs available any more, perhaps a job as a blood diamond importer may be more up your street.


By the way I would be grateful if you could stop complaining about people complaining, not only is it Ironic (people moan on here if you don't like it don't read those posts), but also this site is so people can complain, it would not get much traffic if no one posted. :hmmmm :hmmmm
