Sorry to hear that you haven't ...Dear Shrugged<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you haven't been well. I hope you make a quick recovery. I'm also highly distressed that you have lost your motivation for what seems to be your job and writing this blog.<br /><br />I for one very much enjoy reading your updates and at some stage each day take a look to see if you have posted anything new. I don't work in the railway industry but having grown up at the top end of the Northern Line and got to know many station and train staff over the years, I have always taken a keen interest. My other half describes my interest in a slightly different way!<br /><br />Personally, I'm not sure that management don't care. In a former life, I used to have to deal with trade union representatives and on the whole I found them to be confrontational and ready at the drop of a hat to cause aggravation. The purpose of them I thought was to look after the best interest of their members.<br /><br />I often wonder how so many people accept the likes of Bob Crow et al as their representative. Most are forced to for fear of intimidation. I do think, and I'm not sure I am alone in this thought, that salaries are quite generous, particularly if you look at your role. I fully appreciate you have to work unsociable hours at times and have to deal with rather unpleasant people. <br /><br />I appear to be droning on a bit here. What I am getting to is - I hope you feel better soon. You have a job that so many people would love. Enjoy it and don't let the politics of it all grind you down!<br /><br />Have a good Xmas and successful 2013. I for one appreciate the time that you take to inform and interest us.Rich Snoreply@blogger.com
