Thats rubbish. If you do get a transfer however, it will only be as a part timer though is my guess.

If you know the exact office you want to go to it might be in your interest that you pay them a vist and see the managers there.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I have recently got a FT transfer to another area, but without child care issues and going through atos the only option would have been going with a reduction of hours. I knew the office i wanted and saw the manager there on a good few occasions. I also knew they had vacancies (which office doesnt) but they dont want to fill with FT.Trouble is at the moment what with savings and implimenting p&m 2010 most places are up in the air, lack staff and really reluctant to take on permanent FT unless they have too. Good luck with your transfer, explore every avenue.
