    Why? It is harassment just like any other type.

    It's only harassment if you let it bother you, and you obviously are for some strange reason.

    You still haven't stated why it's such a problem for you?

    If it is work literature, leave it sealed and take it into work, and read it there!

    Does it come recorded delivery and you have to answer the door to the postie? Is it postage underpaid? Does it dent the carpet as it hurtles through the letter box? Do you have to pay to throw away your trash? Do you work for a company whose policies are so in conflict with your own, you don't like their literature? Does this literature affect your work performance?

    I doubt the answer is yes to any of those; So I go back to the original question;

    Why are you making such a big deal over something so trivial, that all you have to do is drop it in the recycle bin?:confused:

    But that would mean he has to pick it up, and carry it to the car ... or even worse, put it in his bag and take it on the bus. :eek: :eek: :eek:
    Gone ... or have I?

    Who do you work for?

    The BNP?

    I can't imagine any other Staff Magazine being classed as propoganda.
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical

    Employers aren't going to win on this one....When I was off on maternity leave a few years ago, I objected to not receiving the weekly briefing bulletin/internal jobs info, as would a lot of other people (I was in a temp post)
    It'll be more economical in staff time to send the stuff to everyone on the staff list rather than have to weed out those who don't want to receive it, who may then change their minds and want to opt in again.

    While on Maternity Leave, employers are legally obliged to keep employees informed, but employees are legally entitled to be left alone if they wish!
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Can't you suggest that to save postage they get it delivered to people's offices and it can be left at work. I would think that's a huge waste of postage, irrelevant of the disgruntlement.

    Calculate the postage they would save and send it to the finance director. Point out that there may be a recession on the cards and you've thought of a money saving scheme.

    That is a complete contradiction!

    Can you not see how much you are overreacting over this?
