Life doesn't agitate me at all , just moronic people. Anyway I've got a little game for you to keep you occupied and stop you getting into trouble . Go and do what you love to do and go through my posts and try and find a single one where I said you were feline as you suggested. Run along , there's a good girl.

If I was as sad and had as much time on my hands I'm sure I could go back through your thousands of posts and find many many inappropriate posts but just today's post was enough to aggitate my cringe glands
" How is feline ;-) "

Well I remember the things you used to post to her were very creepy and lechy so it would have been very weird to be talking to yourself like that, even for you.

@AS
So what is your solution to the problem? How should Royal Mail look after their workforce?

They’re currently losing £1m a day and posted a £92m operating loss in Q1 and your suggestion is?
I'm really not having a go because you seem like a pretty level headed guy , and I agree with most of what you post . However you keep posting the above about this 92m operating loss like its somehow the workers fault , Surrey you can see that a 92m loss after shelling out 400million to shareholders plus what the fat cats paid themselves sounds like quite a profitable business to me. All the workers are saying is that there needs to be a balance and something is way off kilter at present. Surely you can see that if they had given less to shareholders and more to workers everyone would be happier and we wouldn't all be in this mess. Workforce would be happy , shareholders happy = SP increase.

Yeah because the share price is doing great now isn't it.

Was that post just to justify your last post that advised someone the the price will drop ?? Usual well informed drivel from the class clown.

If Royal Mail has posted £120m in Q1 and was absolutely flying and still had loads of cash coming out of their eyeballs then I would say to the posties ‘fill your boots!’
Well maybe the point is it may have done if it hadn't spunked it all away to shareholders and themselves. Why do shareholders deserve it more than the actual workers ?

I understand perfectly thanks AS. As an employee of RM for 27 years we've seen it all before . At the end of the day people will side with the narrative that suits them , as royal mail does and as the cwu does. There are two sides to any story and the truth is somewhere in the middle . I'm sure that middleground will be found in the coming months , everything will be rosey for a bit with the cwu spouting better relations with the business and royal mail suddenly predicting future profits and all will be well......until the next dispute that is. Just history repeating itself.

On one hand you're posting that posties can't have a decent pay rise because the royal mail part of the group isn't profitable but then you say its fine for royal mail shareholders to profit from that part of the group??? You are shareholders in royal mail not GLS.

So you're happy enough to have RM associated with GLS when it comes to the groups calculations for working out dividends , but not so happy when the CWU use GLS in their calculations?? Come on now , you can't slice the cake the way it suits.

"the results were very concerning and leaves the business in a very precarious position."
Yet the SP continues to edge upwards , the fat cats get fatter and the handsome dividend still gets paid . Somethings rotten in Denmark.

I can tell you for certain that if the big wigs and shareholders had only got 2% I one hundred percent would of voted no as I'm sure a lot of employees would have. I don't even think there would have been a ballot if that was the case. This dispute is not only about pay , its about principle and not letting these buffoons get away with such ineptitude and corruption.

Who said anything about 8%?? If I'm absolutely honest I'm quite happy with the 2% . But ... I voted yes with my union because if I'm only worth 2% as the actual worker that earns a big part of the money for the company then I'm damn sure not going to stand by and do nothing when fat cats and shareholders get way more for doing very little.

I agree with everything you're saying but.... there was enough cash to go around when they were dishing out bonuses to them selves and shareholders , and i'm sure you understand that this leads to a lot of resentment amongst staff. Especially when we only get offered 2% and a little bit more if we allow them to crack the whip. I beleive that a company is only as good as it's workforce , and when you feel undervalued as an employee it completley depletes your moral, and an unhappy employee is not a very productive one. I'm positive there is an element of that factored into the companies losses. Happy employee is more productive and provides better customer service which generates higher customer satisfaction which can and likley does lead to more custom and more income.
I think you said in one of your posts the other day that every action has equal and opposite reaction . Treat us like monkeys ... get peanuts. Science ***** :)
That wasnt me calling you a ***** by the way , just a breaking bad quote :)
In all seriousness, ive worked for RM for 27 years now and iv'e never know moral so low. There has to be some truth to what i just wrote. Just my thoughts. GLA

They also didn't clarify how a company with a 92m operating loss can pay the shareholders and the fat cats such insane bonuses and only offer the staff 2% either but I was just correcting your post that said ST hasn't mentioned redundancy.

AS. ST has just today tweeted the threat today that IA may cause redundancies .

Looks like my decision to sell @286 yesterday was a good one . Now to decide weather or not to get back in . Hmmmm.

97.7 YES :)
