Re: Hello from an impending Christmas Casual Worker!
Don't be too worried Royal Mail has quite a few posties on the Autism scale, such as Aspergers etc. Managers should be used to dealing with it in a sensitive manner. You might enjoy it but be prepared for a hectic 4 weeks.
All post by me in Green are Admin Posts.

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."

Re: Hello from an impending Christmas Casual Worker!
Hi KiwiCat! I am apparently on the lower end of the autism spectrum. I think it probably means you will probably be better at learning and sorting mail, which is what you will be mostly doing. Don't be afraid of asking questions if there is anything you are not sure about.

Re: Hello from an impending Christmas Casual Worker!
no offense, but the typical standard of casual workers sets a very low bar, im sure you`ll do great.
