Poll : Should Simon resign?

[SMS1969]

Simon Says

Postie average pay - Including all allowances is c£30,000

No it isn’t you lying w**ker

[R5001]

where the hell does he get 30k from

[postieblueshirt]

Probably getting mixed up with the numbers of steps we do each day

[HTPostman]

I’m on £17k (before deductions) so according to Simon Twitson’s calculator the rest of you must be on on £40k. At least.

In that case, where do I claim my missing gross pay of thousands?

I could almost believe inner London full time OPGs get contract hours near £30k gross.

... Maybe a huge proportion of OPGs work at inner London depots and do some overtime.

[norris9]

Has he put full timers up to £30,000 an hour? wow thanks for the pay rise Simon!....

oh wait - he's just lying to the public to get them on Royal Mail's side.

wow - blatant lies. This guy is a troll.

[k979aaa]

If he cannot get basic fact right why should anyone believe him "No I have not been talking to venture capitalists about dumping the price of Royal Mail by refusing talks sticking my head up my arse honestly" Really now go now and be damned and go forth and multiply in your own lies!

£15.50 an hour just over? Bring us up to this and we'll call off the strikes provided no changes.

I can see how your basing this as £30,000 / 52.17 = £575 a week / 37 hours' is in fact £15.54 an hour, But they think you being paid £13 an hour with allowances is 40% overpaid so in effect Royal Mail would have everyone one on £7.80 an hour? is that illegal well it is as £9.50 for over 25 year olds. Are we now to believe that they are infect an offshore employer who recruit at illegal wages and are just as criminal as drug dealers and slave importers!

[blacov]

His calculation may be roughly correct but should only be limited to the offices inside M25 where inner or outer London allowance is paid. Average 30k could be achieved I think. If he referred to the whole of the UK, he is obviously trying to fool the public as I believe the average would be nearer to 25k.

[kazardaimenu]

Could be assuming the average postie pulls in £5000 or so in overtime but they should not have to.

When I was a postman in outer London my earnings for my last 3 years were approx £37 000 and I was far from being a docket king.
And I wasn't in an office with a 4-day week with 2 days SA. They were rumoured to be on 50k +.

So do you think it is £30,000 or 25,000 or 400,000 plus bonus of £140,000 and expense's a year!

[norris9]

Maybe he plans to give us all a £5000 bonus?
