STRIKE BREAKERS GETTING XMAS TIPS

Post by POSTPERSON50 »

One of the staff working today at my place received a £50 Xmas tip from a business customer, beaming when he told the managers this afternoon apparently. I know for certain the strike breakers have received more xmas tips than ever this year, half of the customers will probably think those people are losing pay throughout the strikes so are tipping in support!

Makes me ill thinking about it

What's £50....it's nothing.

Thompson got a £140,000 short term bonus and men out here be worrying about £50.

The manager's that postie was telling about his £50.... they already got their pay rise and bonuses for helping out on strike days.

And who was it that decided to strike over the festive period so people are not getting the extra financial rewards built up over the previous 12 months?

A lot of thepublic will be tipping posties which will be agency and strike breakers rather than there usual . A lot of the public arent that invested in this keeping up with dates etc they will just tip as usual , will be a good couple days for agency and strike breakers

Half the general public are still surprised when you tell them we don't get paid on strike days.

Exactly, it's heresay. Just ignore it. It's £50, the public don't know, and there's nothing we can do about it. Its not worth a second thought, in the grand scheme of things. Enjoy your Christmas, buddy.

Ps. If ur in a gaffer's WhatsApp group, leave it. It'll be a toxic and unhealthy place for a postie to be in. You're gonna gain nothing from it but a torrent of propaganda.
