Funnily enough mine was one post but I didn’t criticise you . In fairness to you you did say it was of topic but no one on here want to hear your opinions on ER and if they did I would find them very strange

Says the man who was talking about ER today in one of his posts practice what you preach dear boy

Ispy in your opinion do you think if we went on strike say on 1/9/22 and stayed out for 4 weeks consecutively so no post or parcels SD we would have had more chance of winning this dispute. That question is just for any postman out there not shareholders on this board . Although I’m sure we might get some input from them even if it’s not wanted

Yes Shaun it’s is reapeating the same action as 2018 to 2020 but we haven’t got covid to pull us out of the shi-

Wolves thanks for the reply can you remember when Rico Black was in charge .In our office we were told to stop delivering letters on a Saturday and just deliver parcels a month later he was gone . We’re you told to do the same

Just a question for anyone on here do you think this should not have become a PLC . I remember Thatcher the queen of privatisation saying she would never make RM a PLC now before we were privatised we made 300 million pounds in a year at one point are pension had so much money in them Blair’s government stopped putting money in to the pot .Now it all seemed to have gone down hill since being privatised the share price is down 130 since it was privatised not bad for 9 years . The service we provide has gone downhill perhaps Thatcher was right along

Sorry JB I meant ofgom but I did like your reply

Ofgem have already looked at the business needs and have said the USO is safe for another 5 years all be it a different framework. I think it was march this year the decision was made

Ispy forget about the uso DK will have a plan I’m being sarcastic

Well Maximas you say DK will have a plan I’m sure your right but I still say if he lays of postman who he think are dead wood he will struggle to get people to replace them . In which case the service will be worse then it is now which won’t do much for the share price

Maximus you say they will get rid of all the dead wood which I hope your right but let’s say 30000 are dead wood who is going to deliver the post . I don’t know if you read online today but there are 1.2 million job vacancies which employees can’t fill so what makes you think if they get rid of postman people will apply for the job .We have had a vacancy in are office for 4 weeks 1 person applied 15 stone and unemployed for 2 years the manager said he only turned up to show he was trying to get a job to keep his job seekers allowance. Now if loads of postman get laid of there are plenty of jobs out there it’s not like Thatchers time when 3.4 million were unemployed and it was hard to get a job

Maximus I hope your right and their do get rid of the dead wood but if you read my previous post today you will see postman get rewarded for being slow either by booking OT or leaving Mail in the frame for someone else to deliver. Maybe in your experience it’s easy to sack people or get rid of people but at RM it doesn’t seem to be the case

Anger you think RM will be losing 250 million by November at least you may well be right. That means in the last 3 months we would be losing 1.7 million a day or roughly 160 million in 3 months.I if you are correct I don’t think anyone should be buying this share at this price it will fall further

Jbthistle the problem with a manager doing a revision he might have a fast postman on a round who keeps finishing early so the he puts an hour on that delivery. Then when the revision is complete you have a resign in the office now the postman who was finishing early will not sign for that duty with the extra workload and someone else will get it who is not so quick and end up booking OT everyday so there goes your savings. I think the planners use a tool that’s called peagus but i could be wrong im sure someone on here will know

Dynamo fc we haven’t had a revision in our office since 2013 when we went to van share I know the planner who did it took VR 5 years ago out of curiosity when was the last time your office had a revision that question applies to any postman on this board

Sorry meant luck not like

Sean I wish RM would have bought a bonus in years ago I’d be quids in knowing my like it will probably come in next year when I’m retired

Talk2much I’m all for PDA OA looking at current routes with people going home early and making it more fairer in the office so all the walks are equal. But we have people in our office who can’t complete a duty which is the easiest in the office so there leave in the frame what they can’t complete and anyone who gets back early are sent out to complete it .As RG Postie says Monday and Tuesday are light days I normally make 40 minutes on those 2 days but then have to go out and help clear the frame with Mail left in it . How is that fair I’m not complaining that I have to work to my time but having to do other people work sticks in my throat. The best bit about this was when we were allowed OT the slow postman would book an hours OT everyday and would be taking home 50 pounds a week more then me so out of the 3 jobs I’ve had you seem to get rewarded for being lazy

Maximus learn to spell before giving someone criticism I think the word you were looking for was naive there I go again being smart get back to school and learn how to spell

I sure have Anger unlike your good self
