Hi all,

I am new to the post office and wondered if they (the company) buy you a christmas present if so what have you had over the years ?

Cheers.

They gave me a few thousand pressies !

Oh! and they cut my guarateed OT and casual a few years back aswel

Nevermind ! Now that people person Big Al is in charge I'm sure we can all look forward to something nice this year, maybe a Gold Watch or Cuckoo clock

I remember them postman what an absolute piss take that was

,i didnt even have a garden in my council flat

so i gave them back like most of the office.Â£100 christmas bonus and a few stamps is about the best we do ccb0905,whats the betting that they go out the window this year,as big al tightens the purse strings

Mince pies and cream. came next in my D.O. and we all asked for the Seeds back!!! They were out of date Pies!!!

And as johnny said Most living in Central London. East London. Had a window box or MAX a s**t stop for all the local Druggies and ohhh Dogs as well..

Anyway i chucked my seeds out the window and a great big tree grew!!!

I think you people know the rest of the story? The Orribal Giant got cut short in the end. Lets hope this means THE GIANT/RM, Gets the same now!!!!

I was on a rolling six-month contract when I joined RM (the old hands called us 'plastics'). Anyway, after we got converted to permanent status, I asked my line manager if we'd get a bonus at Christmas.

"You got a feckin job for life, son... what more do you want ??' was the response

And I was hoping for some GOOD news !

When i started i done 18 mnts before i got told the BAD/GOOD news!!! 6mnts for a uniform!!

When you got it you felt part of something.. Proud even.. Now i find it a joke when people ask you what you do for a living!!! Ohh i say "im a dolphin trainer... NO s**t!!!

OUT

DONT LET THE PRE XMAS CHEER GRIND U DOWN!!

Over the years, i have had:

Stamps, a video from Vanessa Leeson (I think that was her name and she gave it to me in August) about the "Way Forward", a packet of seeds, more stamps (fewer than previous year) and this year (2007) RM took Â£100 bonus off me and swapped it for 92p!

Every year we get 50 free stamps. Had a huge box of chocs one year and wine once i think. Worst has to be vouchers for a company which went bust shortly after

Docketman · Post by **Docketman** » 11 May 2007, 01:26

stamps from the company, about 250 in tips this year, bottle of wine, box of chocs and 200 ciggies from someone back off holiday.
