The sympathy on here is enough to bring a tear to your eye

Have none of them at the top in business got any kind of scruples ?. Most of them seem to be morally bankrupt, with no sense of right and wrong. Those people at the top of the post office shite pile , cost innocent people their lives . How can they live with themselves?.

I truly hope that post office ceo , Anne vennells , former Anglican priest , gets to stand in front of her god one day ,with her head bowed , and explain her despicable actions .

You're gonna need a bigger plate 🍽.

We binge watched it last night , it was shocking what the dirty b*****ds at the post office did . Somebody should be jailed for a very long time.

I've been very lucky. I've had two mother in laws , and they've both been the nicest people that you could ever meet. I've thought the world of both of them.

Happy new year everybody . I've just heard the first police sirens of the night.

A lot of truth being spoken on this thread gents. It seems that I'm not the only one seeing the world around me turn to rat shit .

It's only the money that keeps me getting up at 4am every day . I absolutely despise the job now. I'm of the lucky ones , that earns a decent rate , because I've been there for so long. The turnover of staff is massive these days. Despite the fact that I've been doing the job for years , and know it inside out. New bosses that have been doing it for two weeks , always feel that they know more than me .

I mentioned them in an earlier post gl. It makes your working day very uncomfortable to know that one minor slip could lose my job and pension.

I've thought about it a few times , but it's the money that puts me off . I'd be taking a 13k pay cut

Life takes some funny old turns mate , and it's good that you're still here to talk about it .

I'm envious . It's great to do something that you enjoy .

I've only ever been to London a few times (as a visitor ) , and its really not the place for me. i find it all very sad , and personally very embarrassing . My default setting, is polite , pleasant, and helpful . I'm a public servant, and having to refuse help to members of the public makes me very uncomfortable. Doing things that 15 years ago would have got me a thumbs up and a pat on the back , will lose me my job and pension now. It's probably made worse , because I know how it should be done , because I've done it the proper way , but now I have some pen pusher , w

It just all depends on the trucks mack. With our trucks , the office can see everything that you do , and hear every word you say . They can track you to the nearest couple of metres , from the second you put your key in the ignition. It's a f***ing awful atmosphere to work in .
-
Yep , it's absolutely awful . I feel pig ignorant when i dont have time to spend with members of the public now, especially the old people . I know only too well that youre probably one of the only people theyll have contact with all week , but for every 7 seconds I spend talking to them , someone at the end of the round doesn't get their bin emptied that day. It's a real sorry state of affairs. People are changing as well . The old lads that I started with were proper old hard nosed feckers. They'd slog 15 miles through the snow or high temperatures all day , and throw 30 tons of shi

You can't blame the blokes for not taking your extra rubbish away. Most trucks now have cameras on them , that are being watched by someone sitting in an office , and if you collect anything that you shouldn't, you'll be signing on before the end of your shift. We only get 7 seconds to empty each bin now , so the days when we could stop and have a chat to some of the oldies , or help them out sometimes , are long gone. I've spent many a tacho break parked outside some old ladies houses , cutting hedges , and taking the cuttings away . If I got caught on camera doing that now , my jo

It used to be quite well paid years ago , and in all honesty , I'm on decent money because I've been there a long time , and im a hgv driver , but following a 10k pay cut and well below inflation pay rises for the last ten years , its pretty poor now. I think my loaders earn about £11.50 per hour now , and most of them are agency workers that get laid off for around two months every year( a few days here and there). They also get spoken to and treated like absolute shit by the supervisors and management . They constantly get threatened and bullied. It's an absolute disgrace. It's certain

I'm thinking more and more about drawing my council pension and calling it a day . We also own a small business. It does very well , but theirs still the worry that it could go tits up at any time with the way things are at the moment . I suppose the fear comes from being comfortable for a few years.

It's hard to feel sorry for him. He started a fight , and he came second.

I've been a binman for the last 23 years . It used to be a great job , with decent money , decent hours , and a great bunch of lads to work with . I'm unbelievably bored with it now and i feckin hate the place , but I'm just too old and knackered to look at retraining. Financially I'm sound , I was mortgage free before I was 40 , but I always worry , just incase things go tits up. I've been poor , and I really don't like it.
