Our postman's a c*nt
Letters are now left sitting on the doormats of all the flats in our block instead of bothering to put them through the letterboxes.
Parcels are never delivered unless they're guaranteed before Xam/pm. If it's recorded delivery or just a general parcel, he turns up a day after they were supposed to be delivered with a card saying he tried to deliver it the day before. If you catch him putting the card through the door and ask for the parcel he just mumbles about it being at the depot and runs off.
C*nt.
My next door neighbour is also the local postie. In reply to the comments in this thread about late deliveries etc, this all came about because of management modernisation. The proposed modernisation is about cutting front line postal staff, changes to working hours and changes to the pension. One of the main issues the CWU has is the redundancies - practically all of them will be posties - not management, when most of the management couldn't run a bath. They're also concerned about the changes to their pension plan as management want to move all existing final salary pension workers on to the new defined benefits system.
They've striked themselves out of jobs
Issues with your grammar aside, this is the classic example of the "prisoner's dilemma" that someone mentioned on the overtime thread. If someone else is willing to do your job for £5 an hour and no perks, does that mean you should accept the same conditions?
