Re: Hi
I hear a lot of the posties talking about how the job isn’t what it used to be etc, but it’s all new to me so I’m only used to the way it is. I’m basically a van driving courier, in our DO the parcels, anything that won’t go straight through a letterbox, have been separated from the normal mail, that’s what I deliver.

Re: Hi
They used to use us occasionally when we were temps I even did a couple of walks myself when I first started, but apparently they're not allowed to since we got contracts. Also I mainly do LATs, which are higher priority than normal parcels.John james wrote: ↑16 Sep 2023, 19:48So ur on a parcel duty everyday ???Posterer wrote: ↑14 Sep 2023, 23:54I hear a lot of the posties talking about how the job isn’t what it used to be etc, but it’s all new to me so I’m only used to the way it is.

Re: Hi
The contract is 25 hours, but I estimate I'll be doing closer to 40 with overtime.SMS1969 wrote: ↑17 Sep 2023, 09:48Welcome.Posterer wrote: ↑14 Sep 2023, 23:54I hear a lot of the posties talking about how the job isn’t what it used to be etc, but it’s all new to me so I’m only used to the way it is.
