We have heard disturbing reports of Council staff being warned that if they take part in this forum they can be traced! This is complete and utter BULL!

The Council WILL NOT be able to trace any posters in this forum! The only way they can know a poster's identity is if the poster uses their full name to register or puts their name in a post.

If you register (which you will only need to do if you want to vote as you can post as an anonymous guest!) you will need to provide a valid email address which will be used to send you an activation email. However, if you don't want to use your usual email address, pop along to a web email provider such as Yahoo.com and register for a new email address that doesn't have you real name associated with it. It's very easy to do and only takes a couple of mins.

My advice is to set up a dummy email address specifically for this forum to be on the safe side.

Please post a reply to this if you have any concerns or would like advice about how to register a new email address.

If you have registered and used your full name as user name, can this be changed ?

Either register again or post as a guest. I can remove the posts with your name on it if you like but whos to say you have used your real name, u might have registered in the name or someone else so i wouldnt worry abuot it too much .

I can see a flurry of registered users in the name of councillor this and that or even a Dicky Carr may crop up.

I would not be worried about being identified, the last I heard this is still a free!! country.
Flabbergasted

There are more people other than civic centre staff and as far as I can tell most of them that I know about have been losers, certainly at Culwell st. I am set to lose almost £5000, this would have a devastating effect on my lifestyle, how can some faceless person with no knowledge of what I do ( my job evaluation bears no resemblance to my proposed new salary) have any say in what I earn, this is an outrage.

Hi Alexis can we try and keep everything on topic. Post your last comment to the results thread. Thanks

This site is an excellent idea, but I really think that there are too many anonymous guests. If people fail to register, then the site runs the risk of being dismissed by the Powers That Be as the rantings of 116 disaffected losers.

So come on people - stand up and be counted. Register, take part in the polls, and give the red circles a proper voice.

It's impossible to win a war when you don't know who you are fighting. Single Status is cost neutral the money taken from one is given to another, Take City Direct.... or Shitty Direct as people from outisde of the call centre will know it, Their team Managers have been given a 20%+ pay hike and the Customer Service Officers, the ones who do the real work are paying for it with a pay cut of 25%, Staff are unaware and looking to their sympathetic manager for support when in reality they are not willing to support them for fear of losing their gain.
