Just a thought. Will the postal workers who are on strike today over pay and jobs for the second time in a fortnight still be eligible to win a car if they have no days off through sickness absence?
Up to 130,000 postmen have walked out following an earlier stoppage last month after union leaders declared their members angry with a pay offer of 2.5%.
The Communication Workers Union also claimed that the Royal Mail's modernisation plans will lead to the loss of around 40,000 jobs.
Guru, who is suffering a full day without fan mail, trusts that the free Ford Focus cars, which can be won by postal workers who have no days off in a 12-month period, have been taken off the table.

This is a bit like the views of an old boss of mine!
"How come the management team always make it into work no matter the weather? Give it 2 mm of snow and the drives and roads used by all our staff all over the UK are blocked! Weird! "
Motivation is therefore the answer to attendance management.
What type of car would motivate you to fight though 2mm deep snow drifts?

Scott,
A £50,000 Mercedes-Benz GL 320 CDI would get Guru through that tricky snow drift.
