Why Royal Mail/Post Office is Fucked part II

I was going to keep this to a one part special but some things have happened that have managed to break through my icy cool demeanour and annoy me a bit. Because that's very difficult to do you understand.

Firstly, the union seem to be hell bent of going through with more strikes just because they've been told that the posties will have to do a reasonable amount of work for a change.

What riles the buggery fuck out of me is that being a postman is actually really well paid for unskilled labour. If they're willing to put the hours in, work hard and do plenty of overtime a postman can easily earn over £30,000 per year. Not bad for fuckwits really.

It's just a crying shame that a lot of the work force aren't hard working. There are plenty that work at the minimum speed possible and then moan that they can't finish the round in their allotted time. You could understand if they have a particularly big/hard round but no. Some of the rounds that my posties do are fucking easy. I can tell this as the relief posties who cover time off seem to finish them really rather quickly without exerting themselves to death. Yet are these people listened to when it comes to reworking the rounds to make them fairer? What do you think?

The answer is no.

The only people who are listened to when it comes to reworking the rounds are the lazy moany ones. The sort who spend half their time on the phone to management complaining that they can't get the round finished in the allotted time.

One thing that doesn't get taken in to account, seemingly ever, is the fact that if the posties finish early then they can go home. It's far more common that they finish early and get to bugger off two hours early than they're busy and need to stay a bit later.

So, to conclude, Posties, you don't know how lucky you are. Or at least you don't yet but given a few more strikes and Royal Mail will gradually slide down the shitter and you'll all be fucked. You wait until there's a glut of unemployed posties out their and just see how good the wages and working conditions you're offered are. I'll give you a hint, they'll be fucking shit compared to what you've got now.

Then we get to Post Office management. I think I'll save my bile on this subject for another post but I'll give you a few excerpts below:
