interview at another sorting office.

Post by chrisjen »

Hi to you all,

I'd like your advice on starting as a xmas casual next week. I have also applied for another post at another sorting office and the interview is on the same day I start.

Working 6.00-2.00 but the interview is at 1.45pm at the other office!

As the first day is an induction day do you think they'll mind if I leave early?

Anyone had to do something similar?

Thanks for your time.

Moved to Angardie forum.

You could all but try,you obviously wont get paid for a full shift though.

Good luck.

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.

Induction will not take 8 hours - mine was about 45 minutes a few years back - then we were working.

Maybe let them know, as soon as you can, you need to leave early that day for a prior appointment.

Yes, good idea I'll give the Xmas casual phone line a call

Thanks
