Piggybacking just to say Hi too, as I'm a New Starter also, but I'm just about to complete my first week.

In my week running upto start date, I was dead nervous given some of the posts you might read here or over on Reddit,

But I've found my DO to be very well organised and up-to-date, and everyone extremely friendly, approachable, patient, helpful, knowledgeable.

For me, I don't think I could ask for better Delivery Office Managers, or dedicated Work Place Coach, so I genuinely hope I'm not in the lone here, and sincerely hope you get all the support in the moderately steep learning curve you'll need and deserve!

Hey Lizardking, welcome.

it's about finding your feet and then finding your own way as well.

It's a lot to learn and and does take time.

Best of luck to you too

Were you here when that scumbag was in charge?
Calling us lazy and greedy for going on strike!
When we worked in the pandemic and made £600m profit and they gave it to shareholders

When we worked in the pandemic

I worked pandemic, just not for Royal. It was boomtime, printing money.

Made so much, so quickly, so easily, that my logistics-niche industry simply wasn't going to last forever.

Now I'm picking up the slack for Afternoons and Weekends that old-schoolers don't want. That's fine by me.

Simon Thompson called "you" lazy. Now you accuse me of being "Simon Thompson" for praising colleagues with character and care.

Cool dude, you be you, free country so express yourself. But there's a lot of vitriol online.

It's not helpful, because that workload isn't going away.

The opposite. That workload is growing, and it's at the times-of-day Historic Contract's don't+won't serve.

What's being offered by Royal isn't Independent Worker Model, and it's not 0-Hours.

Yes I benefit from the CWU's efforts and all those who've cooperatively participated.

But the CWU green-flagged Pro-Rata Contracts, so... AFAIC, better than anything I've been offered in the past.

It's now the CWU's and Historic Contract Employees responsibility to get themselves inline with what's changed, why, and how to encourage participation amongst the new recruitment strategy for frontline posties.

And if the environment's not for me in 6months, 1year, 2years... I'm off:

When your contract is 40hours, you command with your strike.

When your contract is <30hrs+Over, you command with your wallet.
