Could it be a coincidence just two myself and AngerSharkz posting this morning. Him posting soon after me and of course he mentions me in very first post. One of many!
Are you telling PORKIES AngerSharkz ??????????
@ Redceo.
Do some simple maths and try to understand why so many posties are understandably angry.
And if making a point that you don't agree with, or understand, is belligerence, then i'm guilty as charged. As is everyone else on this board.
Shall i mention the pay rise next?
Isle. To be honest while reading your message I was already thinking of Trolls here and "So much BS" So my "cheerio" was maybe a bit harsh.
You were questioning in your usual "manner" my statement "have more time at home during the summer"
I believe Oli was stating that hours needing to be worked in summer might only be 32, which is a reduction and my statement is correct. These are his words :-
" This could be 32 hours in the summer months and 44 hours in the winter months"
If I have somehow misconstrued Oli's meaning then I will happily say so. But at this point I don't believe I have.
By the way my comment about being bolshy was followed by ;-) indicating I was joking.
@ Redceo.
I think the word "could" in Oli G's post sums everything up.
We "could" work 25 hours in summer and 50 hours in winter. You can quote me on that now!
What you don't seem to grasp is that RMG want us to start later and finish later. Please read my earlier posts.
Moving on: What do you think about the flexi hours scenario i posted earlier? That is fact. Do you think it is acceptable that 2 employees should have 50 days of annual leave per year? What if everyone in my office accrued the same amount of banked hours? What do you think would happen in a very short space of time?
@ Anger.
I'm just trying to enlighten somebody who i believe is looking at RMG through rose tinted glasses at the moment.
His posts seem so dismissive of IA. Brought about by the sheer stupidity of management.
Does any postie actually believe Thompsons words when he says that he understands how the cost of living is affecting us and that is why he's forcing a 2% pay rise on us? We will be paid 200 quid, next week i think, in lieu of this rise. And then he mentions it's taxable income. Not that it shouldn't be, but he has to mention this.
And then there is the looming spectre of Kretinsky that Redceo mentioned the other day! VESA take over and no strike action? Right!
Isle. Honestly I think this entire situation needs calming down.
If we shareholders can't get straight answers because of a word "could" then what chance is there of 100% honesty between a top level discussion and what's subsequently reported "many a slip twixt cup and lip"
You may have noticed I have asked questions of the Boss. We shall see how it's progressed at Head Office. Maybe I shall receive a clearly explained reply or not. Obviously how my request is administered will be telling after all my money helps pay the wages.
In answer to your question. I cannot imagine the company would sanction that level of overtime for one second. You cannot speak with two posties and then project the same equation over the entire workforce. Life doesn't work that way.
One other point, you suggested I stopped thinking with my wallet. The union members are as guilty of that if it's true at all.
Seems the attitude is ignore shareholders and gimme gimme gimme. Royal Mail is best served by investors and workers pulling together. Unless you prefer reporting to Dk in future.
@ Redceo.
"""In answer to your question. I cannot imagine the company would sanction that level of overtime for one second. You cannot speak with two posties and then project the same equation over the entire workforce. Life doesn't work that way."""
I'm giving you facts about why flexi hours wouldn't work in my office. I gave you an example of 2 posties, as i had this discussion with them. They were actually quite happy with my breakdown of banking hours.
""" Could""". The word used by a RMG employee and now used by you to suit your own rhetoric.
"""One other point, you suggested I stopped thinking with my wallet. The union members are as guilty of that if it's true at all.""" Read what RMG want. And what they are not going to get. We will end up worse off. You ending up worse off is your own doing.
And finally. Bring on Kretinsky. Do you honestly think VESA will want to take over a company that are bound from so many restrictions. That's not including the militant workforce.
You carry on dreaming about "DK".
CEO of Randstad No.1 recruitment agency in the world. Was just saying that 10% pay increase will not make an unhappy employee happy. So what chance does our CEO have?
Isle. In a nutshell we are basically repeating a conversation that's been had for many years. The conclusion has always been a settlement. This time will be no different, a bit of sulking but life goes on.
You have lost me with the "could" point but TBH. I can't summon up enough enthusiasm to continue down that path.
As for DK he's invested a huge sum for a reason, to eventually increase his fortune. I am convinced he knows his stuff. How he intends to do it only he knows.
Let's have a private wager. I bet you £0.00 this will all come out in the wash.
Now I fully intend enjoying my evening hope you do the same.
RMG have to deal with the workshy and opportunists...50% of our letter postpeople(?) decided at start of pandemic that at they needed to self-shelter...bizarrely parcel staff were of stronger stuff and delivered throughout.
I don't need to speak to them, I can see who is working .
50%????? Where did you get your data from?
The figure for sheltering (those with pre existing medical conditions) in my office was less than 3% of the workforce and there were a few that refused to shelter. This was on the advice of the UK Government.
@ katenip.
You'll always have the "thieves" as i like to call them.
I'm not saying it's right, but it is what it is. Plus the government laid down certain guidelines which we should all have had to adhere to. The majority of people worked from home. We couldn't, obviously. So your idiotic asssumptions, based on nothing, won't sit well with many.
Why are you going on about things that happened over 2 years ago? Is this relevant to anything that's being discussed now?
And what parcel staff are you referring to?
@ Redceo.
"""CEO of Randstad No.1 recruitment agency in the world. Was just saying that 10% pay increase will not make an unhappy employee happy. So what chance does our CEO have?"""
Tell me Redceo. How many posties are generally unhappy?
You do understand what i'm saying, don't you?
Please think before you reply. You don't want to make yourself look foolish.
@ Redceo.
""""Let's have a private wager. I bet you £0.00 this will all come out in the wash.""""
Can't afford that. I'm saving up for when i'm on strike. You can't either as your shares are slowly sliding down the plughole. Courtesy of Mr Thompson.
Anyway. Got to go. I'm up at 4.30am for another "easy" day at the office. You should try it sometime.
The irony of the imposed 2% pay adjustment with £200 back pay (to be paid at the end of July) is that most of our late shift view this as three days of industrial action paid for by the business in advance.
"I'm up at 4.30am for another "easy" day at the office. You should try it sometime"
Can't see any benefit of that course of action . I keep fit in other ways -)))
Enjoy your day.
spotted a nice Wyckoff Spring pattern formed on the 15 Minute chart, if this breaks 282 today its going to fly, i wouldnt be surprised to see 315 this afternoon if it happens, FTSE is also up 40 ponts pre market with no major bad news around today as far as im aware...?
"if this breaks 282 today its going to fly"
Well you were on the mark Friday. I'm sure many here wish you luck today.
So far so good ??
283.40 GBX +2.00 (0.71%) today 27 Jun, 08:34
@redceo - yes its broke the 282 line i needs to go well clear then come back down and test 282 after the move conitnues upwards, ive done a chart here so you can see how the wyckoff spring works, the second low is the spring point and must break the neck line.
https://ibb.co/bBbjKxS
broke 282 nicely and came back down to test the line and off up she goes as predicted, classic reversal pattern.
https://ibb.co/wdbgcWs
We have resistance at 290 area, 304 area, 312 and 320
Thanks, I see all clever stuff.
287.71 GBX +6.31 (2.24%)
So it's going in the right direction now.
I shall look in later but looking good
Newdealz, so what you are effectively saying is that the daily/hourly fluctuations are not related to the company itself and are just a part of the overall FTSE mechanics?
Does this work for most FTSE companies or is it specific?
So it hit 288 ish are we heading for 304 as our next peak now ?
There will be profit takers on the way up, at present we are trending, all these patterns are useless when bad news is around, atm we dont have any and the algorithm is trending up, the Wyckoff Spring is a classic reversal pattern that all the ii's love to trade, we should get at least two big legs up.
We have air between the 20MA and 50MA and 200MA on the 15 minute chart all the way up to 4 hourly, this is a confirmed strong up tyrend until either some bad news share specific or the FTSE does anothjer nose dive.
@Oligrach these shares are traded by computers not humans (SETS), they run off algorithms which can chnage depending on news or wider market forces on the FTSE, when trending they will be running off automatic SETS trading, the SP at present has nothing to with RMG as a company, with no news its just recovering from recent sell off in that part of the supply demand cycle.
