Royal Mail web site misleading new applicants

Post by jemima »

On the Royal Mail jobs web site, they give information about the benefits of applying to work as a postman/woman. Including the following:

"Pension
Our employees have the choice of joining one of our two pension schemes. Our nationally recognised pension plan is a traditional final salary plan that provides a pension for life and offers protection to dependants. Our parent company, Royal Mail Group, makes significant contributions to this pension plan. Alternatively, employees can join our retirement savings plan that provides a pension based on the value of the contributions paid by the employee and Royal Mail Group."

f**k me. Send this to the CWU. This is stupidity on a massive level. But I suppose they will find out who has written this job spec. and then sack a postie for it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
