Dont you have the balls to talk to your own manager?

If you dont like your job, hand in your notice and leave. It's not hard.

Q: Why is bottom-posting such a bad thing?
A: Because it messes up the natural flow of a conversation

So, you have your conversations back to front, do you? Must make
jokes a bit dull, getting the punch-line first.

No but I don't usually have the entire conversation repeated from the
beginning before adding to it. In fact the bit you snipped I thought made
the point but apparently this is a matter you take far too seriously.

But surely your usenet client colours different levels of quoteing in
different colours, or allows you to collapse quote blocks. I can easilly
see the latest addition to the thread, while simultaneously reading
context should I need to be.

Seems to me you should talk to your manager about your contract. Demand

no, hand in your notice and seek employment elsewhere.

Great idea, so instead of a few delays until this is resolved people using
the line have to use only a limited number of trains (60%?) for six months
or so! Don't forget those who teach people to drive trains are actually
train driver themselves!


And that's relevent because...?

If you dont like your job, and you cant agree on a better deal, then seek
employment elsewhere. Doesn't matter if you're a shop worker, train
driver, or prime minister.

What sort of job do you do? I always find the sudden reduction of my
salary by 100% quite an obstacle to leaving a job I migth be fed up with.

OTOH the ability to drive an Underground train is not a transferable
skill. Face it, TfL and its franchise holders have a monopoly on
needing workers with that particular skill. Unless the ex-drivers are
prepared to become bottom-rung, menial, unskilled workers somewhere
else, TfL has them by the short n' curlies. It's not surprising they
spend so much effort fighting back!

If you walk into a car showroom, and see a car you like, and offer £5,000,
but the salesman says £50,000 - you don't picket outside the room until he
changes your mind, you go elsewhere.

Why do some people (strike lovers) not understand this?

If you think it's hard, I am willing to write resignation letters for £10 per person. Bulk
discount too.

I do a job which I was suited for after going to uni and spending 3 years
of my life running up £15,000 or debt. It pays a lot less then an
underground driver, but OTOH I didn't start when I was 18 and end up fully
trained on £30k by the time I was 20. Instead I took the long expensive
road in the hope of brighter carrer prospects in the future. I also put a
lot of free time into keeping my skills sharp so I have workforce
mobility.
