Really helpful comment.

I feel the same. I will leave eventually when I get all my ducks in a row but until then I can still demand fairer pay and workload. I will also give absolute bare minimum. Soft quitting I think they call it. Management wouldn't know what to do if everyone stoped going above and beyond for em.

This company prides itself on its posties and yet treats them like s**t.

Can you not feel the gentle summer breeze on your buttocks? Your shorts are already down and you don't even realise it. Now, lean forward and prepare to receive your reward.
The machine stops.

Change is happening, there's no status quo.
