Personally, i'd sake the lot of you - your useless, can't do anything right for the postal service and cause nothing but hassle for the general public and business alike. Very selfish as I said. Again, maybe you should all just wind your necks in and get on with your job. Like I said, your very lucky to have a job considering this "recession" i'm sure agencies are happy to bring in temps and maybe that would be a good idea as temps you have "no rights" etc.
Being forced to take on extra tasks in your day to day job, is unfortunatly, the way any business survives in times like these. RM isn't profitable enough as it is. Therefore, the chiefs have to make "choices" i'm afraid. When I asked, the post lady what she was striking for. She didn't want to answer, which again, seems to be the general rule of thumb. So what are you all sheep? I mean, c'mon - is all of this "idiotic-ness" needed. Seriously? Or can't you all open you mouths and talk to your line managers?

/rant over

lol, ok.

Get real. Personally I'd sack the lot of you and replace you all with more forward, freethinking, and dynamic personnel.

I reckon the RM would have no worries filling any vacant positions.

I reckon you're right on that last part, though that doesn't mean the service will magically improve like you all think it will. And as for public support It seems to actually be the vocal minority who are speaking out against us. When delivering my round yesterday it took me an extra hour to get around because I was getting stopped every few doors with offers of support etc. Now while I don't doubt maybe even half of those may not be genuine and probably just out of politeness that's still a lot of support.
