Hiya just looked at the clip…those B…ards want sacking… imagine if we drove round smashing into
any car or wall, our licence would be gone in a flash. it maddens me how the postie drive the vans.
they belong to us in the long run, the only RM vans i’ve seen without dents are the new ones on delivery.
i used to stack bricks of at building site’s but in a orderly manner. not just annyhow…

Just watched it to the end, those t ts need a good kicking at Bournemouth for behaving like that, chucking TVs and computers about and helping themselves to anything that was broken. No excuse.
Watching it now on 4 on demand… the wife wont let me have the TV in an evening, its hers!
B…
I haven’t watched it yet, but for anyone who wants to watch it on 4OD here’s a link.

think the management need to go to the opticians then…if they havent found any instances of that type of behaviour
So basically this all comes down to one thing.
Pay peanuts… you get monkeys! If these types of jobs were not minimum wage and actually paid a living wage, people would be more inclined to care.

Anyone who’s worked for RM realises that the only way to safely send anything important/valuable is via Special Delivery.When I worked at Sheffield Mail Centre I saw drivers steal mail and deliberately drop items marked “fragile” on the floor to try to break them. Most people in RM are ok and believe in getting the mail delivered but there’s a few w*nkers who think it’s fun to mess things up.
The only real secure way to send anything sensitive or expensive is by Sameday courier

Here is an article by the undercover tnt postie that was in this tv show.
Tell you what reading it, i think we are going to have massive disruption to our mail service this year. Its gonna get ugly! The royal mail to be sold off within the year?!!
This fella was on £7.10 p/h and on a zero hours contract which sounds rather alarming! How is a private owned company that buys the royal mail supposed to compete with that, when they pay their staff are really good liveable wage.
Also hope this zero hour contract isn’t the next big thing to shaft workers!

Why?
People behave themselves more NOT from being well paid (looking at Bankers on a day out at a racetrack will show you some pretty animalistic behaviour!)
People DO behave when they think “They’ve got a job ongoing at this firm to come back to”.
You could even say that putting someone in a uniform improves staff behaviour.
"You have this job, you’re keeping this job" = well-mannered staff.
“You’ll be replaced as soon as we find someone who’ll do it for £6.19ph instead of the overpaid £6.25ph you’re getting now!” = Likely to torch the place and swear at Customers at any/every opportunity. IF they can speak enough English to shout at customers so of course…

Why?
Treating parcels like that is wrong on any level and no one can justify it irrespective of what they earn per hour. That argument reasons out as “I’ll do the job correctly if you pay me more money but not if you don’t”
People like the ones shown would treat the same parcels like they did because they were the sort of people who didn’t give a t s. If you doubled their money, assuming they’re not already on a decent wack already, would just be people who don’t give a t s but earning more money.

I agree that the people shown would do that anyway. However, if they paid a good wage, pension and uniform etc, they’d be able to attract and pick better staff. Then the staff they had wouldn’t, for the most part, behave like that as they’d have a job worth keeping.

Exactly.
You pay peanuts, you get monkeys 
If all you pay is minimum wage then you will only ever attract minimum wage workers, if your business relies on security, safety and decent behavior maybe you should be trying to attract better staff. I like how the CEO of UK Mail also states they have a robust “training” system in place. I’ve seen these training systems first hand and they are anything but robust. More like jump in the deep end and hope you can swim.
