That just about sums you up my friend :chuckle No doubt a valid point of view , but possibly one that me and most of humanity might beg to differ from :hmmmm
I don't see why anyone should think they're worth half a million quid to RM, but if you know what most of humanity think, then who am I to argue.... :hmmmm

That's a bit near the mark, isn't it?

What's Pinky 1 done to incur such a bitter and deeply-felt riposte? :sad:

Or get another job. :whistle

Plenty people have worked their nuts off to make this company profitable, only to be s**t on by management f***ing around with the hours. What about a f***ing service mate?

The hours are not unsocial , you are right, buts its not what the MAJORITY want or businesses or the public. The CWU recognise change is coming because they all f***ing work 9-5 with s**t loads of perks. Your comment of like it or lump it with the whistleing smiley is an insult to the workers who have kept this company afloat and kept YOU in a job. :mfo :cfo

Our office has been 7-3 for the rural men for the last year. Saturday is 6.30 to 2.30. However, I'm often still delivering well after 3.

I think you want to lie down in a darkened room, mate. I've kept myself in a job, thanks, without any help from anybody else.
I've also given 25 years of hard work to RM , and they would happily pay me off tomorrow. I don't see the point you're trying to make. I don't agree with the changes but they are coming, "like it or lump it". Get real, look at the crap hours other people have to work. As far as "insult to the workers who have kept this company afloat", don't make me laugh, I do the job properly and always have done, unlike a large number who don't give a fcuk about anybody else and cut every corner to get finished early. If you don't like the CWU then get out. You sound like some left-wing lunatic from the seventies. :crazy:

Prowler, i dont know many other jobs where folks hours are changed on a regular basis, for little or no reward, thats what has pissed me off, also, folk like me, and others, who have hobbies or a small income from a second job, who the business dont give a toss about.

I look at the threads on here daily, and if it was possible, i reckon the vast majority of folk would take the money and run if they could, i have some sympathy wi the poster who has given you a verbal volley -greynut , you, like me, are the people hes talking about, the long service lads, who have seen the business go steadily downhill for years.

Underneath all my hatred and dislike of any chunt in a suit, and all those fuds who you never see from one year to the next(the area fookers), im sad that i have to tell folk lies on a daily basis when out on delivery, as all i want to do is my job, unhinderd, not followed, or spied on if i want to get round that wee bit quicker.
All it does is build up anger, get confrontational, and ends up with suspended posties, like in my office.

God knows whats coming next :arrrghhh
