The job has taken its toll mentally on me

Post by FirstPost »

Just a few points to get off my chest

I’ve always done lots and lots of docket/ghosting during my time at Royal Mail, now with the overtime ban here, DM26 approaching and my mortgage expiring I am going to struggle to renew it on basic pay

The daily grind was bearable for so long but now it’s too much, no morale in the office, FTers coming in hours early to prep work, PTers coming in early to get out the same time as everyone else, the extreme heat and how the company dont give a f**k

Sorry to hear your feeling stressed. But you shouldn’t count on overtime even though it’s regular.there’s always the chance it will stop.done it myself years ago but never again.
