@ ispy and our fellow posties...
i must say what a lovely meal and a glass of vino to toast dave and terry. well done guys telling Mr. Thompson to get stuffed.
see you on the picket line tomorrow. happy days for a posty...... shareholders a different matter unless they have a very low average...
Annually.
If the RMG group eliminated Middle-aged post-men and replaced them with school leavers on an entry level salary the company would save £900,000,000.
Well said @Babis.
Warren almost stole Baron's line.
don’t have any frustration with posties, you can do what you want…..it’s your life? If you feel the need to resort to insults or start arguments with people because they don’t agree with you that’s up to you……I made one comment weeks ago and your reply was idiotic , tbh I thought you were still at school. Practice what you preach
@Phunt,
I have more more letters after my name than you have in your name, the comment was a reference to a picture I saw on the CWU social media page. If you want to infer that I did not know that Royal Mail and the Post Office are in fact separate legal entities, that's your prerogative
Enjoy your dinner and wine, but drinking and posting online is not a good look, much like middle-aged men in entry level jobs.
Anger its so funny how you resort to sarcasm when someone challenges " your numbers" and you don't have an answer.
So I'll ask again ... where is this extra cash coming from for the extra 3.5% if the business is loss making ? And where is the "extra money on the table" coming from if it can't be found for a no strings attached pay rise?
I also find it funny how you just gloss over the fact that you don't know what the targets are because rm haven't actually printed them on the Internet for you , but you won't shut up about that fact that the union haven't put an exact figure on how much they are looking to achieve.
@Babis is it true most Posties are over 55?
Although I don't disbelieve it because I just saw some pictures on the CWU twitter page from the Post Office picket line, and I couldn't believe my eye's, it looked like an advert for Saga.
Tossla, the very fact that you think posties are anything to do with the post office yet again shows just how little knowledge you actually have.
@teslo
yes my friend most of the posties are over 55, thanks for your kind words but we are used to cold weather, probably shorts and jumper. I do read what everyone says and for time to time I may post.
here something that we both agree: the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets. I wonder who said this first?
Trust me the targets are impossible to hit so there is no extra 0.5% to 15% total horse####

It's pretty clear the culture at RMG is toxic simply by judging how certain people who work their post on here, passive-aggression is often being disguised as " banter. "
Be grateful you only have 9 posts and also be safe out there tomorrow and remember to wrap up warm.
@teslo, is HR stands for heartless rats ?
Well they are not actually offering us 5.5% are they though? You are aware as well as I am ( I hope so by now anyway and you're not just quoting the media spun 5.5% that rm like to spout) that 3.5% of that is conditional/target based. Do you happen to know what those conditions are?
But I wasn't actually talking about that extra bit. I was talking about the more money on the table that Thomson implied was available last week if agreement was reached.
Anger wrote :-
All because when I run the numbers on what the posties are striking for, I don’t see how it’s sustainable for a loss making business.
Ok, if there is not a single bean available for a better pay deal because the business is loss making and doesnt have a single penny spare ,where do your numbers say the money came from to pay the managers bribes and the extra money that ST himself was available inbthe last meeting with dave ward? Serious question , I would like to know ?
P.P.S.
When I was paid in a professional capacity to forensically sort through financial data, in most cases it was too look for frauds incompetence negligence and criminal behaviour patterns.
Enjoy your evening, along with your long weekend.
HR is always watching.
Well one thing is for sure - anyone running a business reliant on deliveries will have used an alternative parcel delivery provider today - I wonder how many will return to using RMG?

@Wolves in September 2020 you also said £1 was coming real soon, 9 months later it was £6
I'm not saying you're wrong here, and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but can you break it down with some analysis, beyond a thread title and posting a single number as to why ?
You were also not the only employee on here talking the price down around that timeline either, another vocal poster who is/was fond of taking evening shots at me, was telling another poster in August 2020 " Take your losses. You could have sold at 219p.".
For the record, I am not sorting through people's posts to dig them out, I used to forensically examine financial data as a job and old habit die hard.
Personally, I tend to agree with @Grayling in that everything RMG related is just noise at the moment. There are much deeper problems going on with the UK economy right now.
Shorts reducing to over half of their peak level's of 2018 and 2019 and over a third lower than the highs of 2020, doesn't seem in line with the previous action at these price levels. There could be a number of reasons why, but it will also be fresh in their mind how they got burned in late 2020.
I'm actually interested in other's opinion and takes on here, more so when they break it down, and less so when the responses are intentionally disguised as something else.
The CWU posting on social media about the talk's update @4.25 pm running into the close was pretty slick and unless the takeover with VESA has already been locked in behind the scenes, they should not be taken lightly. At this stage it's becoming a dangerous game of poker and it does seem that if one side does not adhere to the other's wishes and folds, the other is seemingly willing and content to allow the RMG house to burn down.
Simon Thompson blase attitude toward's the CWU and the Chairman seemingly AWOL does not add-up either, but I doubt either of them would lose any sleep if RMG goes up flames and Dave Ward would still be wearing his silk pyjamas, unlike many of the current RMG employees.
There is a case for both sides, but unless they compromise by the time they wait for an independent adjudication they will be sifting through the ashes.
GLA.
P.S All shot's taken at me are welcomed.
Make that three of us then lol. I'm currently sat in a lovely little Italian with a glass of red ( at Royal mails expense I might add lol ) thanks shareholders for your investment :) chin chin
@ wolvesposty.
You've echoed what i'm going to do. I'll get a bit battered and get an Indian takeaway.
Just to show the general feeling in my office. The majority of staff were actually hoping there would be no resolution today.
They accepted they were going to lose 2 days' pay, and thought they would just enjoy the long weekend. And had made plans for it. I never thought i'd say it, but they seemed almost happy.
Enjoy your beer and biryani.
well done wolvesposty, they never understand the pride you feel when you fight for something in life. Last strike was ****ing down with rain and we did not move from the picket line. I bet AngerSharks deep down is good person and he gives his postie £20.00 for Christmas.
I'm done for now angryboy as I'm off out to the pub and then an Indian restaurant for some lovely food... maybe a few more beers afterwards as I'm on strike tomorrow. alarm on tomorrow @ 6am to see your drivel on here before joining the picket line to show support to our great union of posties..... You? suppose you'll be on here until bedtime and looking at your portfolio checking how dire your investments are.... please do not lose any sleep on my behalf.... nighty night....:-)
anger you do the insulting mate..... forget it... i will continue to get under your skin angryboy... like someone said the other night you will never concede you are wrong...... my guess is you are a lonely man with a few bob trying to invest and live off the returns. no social life as how can you when you on here 24/7 ? i can see your predicament... but there is help out there if you just reach out....
anger i will do you a deal..... you stop your frustration and antagonistic views with posties and look at both sides... and i will do the same with shareholders...DEAL?
