Post by Thommo44 »

The last couple of weeks I’ve heard more people say ‘last Christmas’ than George Michael.

There's lots that talk about leaving all the time but never go. It's not easy when someone has been there a while. There's the doubt of finding something else and of not being able to adapt to a new job. Plus on the old contracts RM pays well for what the job is and the hours although not as good are still decent.

Yeah, hopefully my "last Xmas" I've just about had enough, fed up of the ever increasing ammount of parcels, fed up of mail just building up, fed up of D2Ds you just can't prep, fed up of compulsory Sundays, fed up of working harder but been paid less than a lot in my DO, and lastly I'm in my early 60s and not only is it physically getting harder it drains you mentally as well, I just want a much simpler less demanding job to take me up till retirement
