How was your day (at your mail centre with xmas press)?

Post by MartinMail »

6am start
2pm finish

:Boo hoo! :Boo hoo!

The most mind-numbing experience I have experienced. The experience of this experience was an experiance I would never like to experience again. Well this experience will last 'till 22nd. :nervous

I sat for half an hour pinging rubber bands into a bin 20ft away (12 out of about 30, not bad, eh?)

The good thing is I think I've learned to sleep with my eyes open. Which, by the way, is not needed as there is about 5 "managers" and about 10 CCTV's covering an area about double the size of a tesco superstore.

These 10 days are going to fly in... :evil/mad

Welcome to the surreal world of the Mail Centre.

Well I did warn you. Don't worry though - if you decide to transfer to a MC you learn to switch off when you enter the building, spending your shift in a trance like state, until it's time to go home. :sad:

PS Pinging rubber bands is contrary to H&S.

Moved to MC Forum.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
