It used to be a couple of days training/shadowing. Then it's time to go it alone.

However if you wish for a longer training period, then ask for it. :cuppa

When I started a couple of years back, I was delivering on the Wednesday, two days after starting.

That’s pretty much what I think will happen. Might as well get on with it. Learn as you go. Thanks for the reply 👍

Zero, you lose seniority when you leave the company. But you would retain one year's service towards added leave days, assuming the new contract gives any extra leave days.

failing the workforce, failing the public and deliberately failing mail on a daily basis for too many years.
