Anyone else jacked it in this year?
The last few pressures/cutbacks/revisions since 2019 was the end of the 'job for life' I took 16/17 years ago.
Jacked it in earlier this year for a better job. Better people, better shift pattern, better culture.
Anyone else? Wish I'd done it a decade ago

Its not that black and white there's still alot of inferior jobs,some people on here have left and actually asked questions around reapplying,the grass isn't always greener.

I'd assume if someone's jacked it in they wouldn't still bother posting on here.

Most of those leaving say they are on more money in a better job, but won’t reveal what their new job is.

Re: Anyone else jacked it in this year?
Depends how they feel about an expected job for life being modified beyond recognition and physical ability. One might feel bitter enough to be unable to mentally move on. I've seen some colleagues who did spend a lifetime in the job start their retirement with a lot of anger about how things transpired.ted_e_bear wrote: ↑22 Dec 2023, 16:27I'd assume if someone's jacked it in they wouldn't still bother posting on here.
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?

Good point I can sympathise with someone in that situation, mind you the op hasn't spent a lifetime, said started 16/17 years ago, I've done 25 years and whilst it was considerably better than now it wasn't the "good old days" even then.Mr Rush wrote: ↑22 Dec 2023, 17:20Depends how they feel about an expected job for life being modified beyond recognition and physical ability.

Re: Anyone else jacked it in this year?
Eh, we've got guys that started during early P&L reminiscing misty-eyed to new starts about the glory days of 2013 when you could clear the walk, do the lapsing, and still finish early on a Tuesday even after losing 30 minutes stuck in WTLL. The only constant is that it seems to get worse.ted_e_bear wrote: ↑22 Dec 2023, 17:43Good point I can sympathise with someone in that situation, mind you the op hasn't spent a lifetime, said started 16/17 years ago, I've done 25 years and whilst it was considerably better than now it wasn't the "good old days" even then.Mr Rush wrote: ↑22 Dec 2023, 17:20Depends how they feel about an expected job for life being modified beyond recognition and physical ability.

Re: Anyone else jacked it in this year?
Left this year. New job better in all fronts. Money terms and conditions job satisfaction. I can't say what I do because of the nature of the job. I still post and read the chats because I care about what is happening to the guys and gals still slogging it out and if I can support anyone I will do. I'm a people person. Did almost 10 years and after a day during covid working xmas pressure in minus 10 chill factor. I thought "what the fcuk am I doing this sh!t for ?" and applied for every job going. Took 2 years to get out. I've got to say the new shoes would have been the deal breaker for me but my magnums saw me out the door.

Until they pull the code of conduct flag, and target you for not pulling your weight. The pressure is on for those on older contracts.

Re: Anyone else jacked it in this year?
Hi guys, on the topic of people leaving I’m starting soon. Semi retired and just fancied something part time . Outdoors and exercise. I do find it quite alarming thou that there seems to be in extremely quick turnaround in staff in the Post Office these days. Can you give me your thoughts on why this would be ? Would appreciate it.
