Re: Job ideas
Ticket collector at the railway station brings you in 32k . One of our lot just left for this and is loving it. He said you go home feeling as fresh as when you start, unlike this job. Another has gone into window cleaning with a pole washer. He said in one street alone he can earn £80 in an hour. Since he left us he has got rid of his clapped out Rover and now drives a 22 reg electric Hyundai. Factory work pays £11 an hour Monday to Friday with no stress. There are tons of better jobs than this and employers are screaming out for staff.

Re: Job ideas
Seriously? Not a great job. I know a couple of train drivers and they absolutely love doing it, and the money is brilliant for a 4 day week! It's hard to get into though and both my mates started as conductors first. Wished id have done it years ago when I got offered a job as a conductor but decided to be a postie because I wanted to be home before dinner

Well it depends what you like I guess. Personally I think I'd find it a bit boring but I guess it may be worth it for the money?citypostie wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 20:34Seriously? Not a great job.

Re: Job ideas
The only good thing about todays redundancies warning is unemployment is very low and if you fancy a change probably now is the best time to go.

Re: Job ideas
Amazon then, I think you do 4 day weeks on a 12 hour day. Overtime is a very high rate ( well compared to ours anyway!)

Re: Job ideas
May be some movement in the Royal Mail board you could do 3 days a week with a big bonus the hours maybe a problem you would only do 3 hours a day but at £550,000 plus a year plus bonus and 13.2% pension most postal workers get like 6% pension. Nice might apply myself?

Re: Job ideas
Anyone who REALLY thinks that up to 10k workers are going to get mega thousands in redundancy will be contenders for the Most Deluded Trophy 2022/2023.
The biggest majority by far will come from natural wastage - people leaving and not being replaced, not filling vacancies, not recruiting and using PDA data to lapse more walks, sacking people for every little indiscretion, taking out walks via revisions etc.
You can't even get uniform now due to the bank account running on empty - who on earth actually believes that millions will be paid out in redundancies?
The problem with this job is that you become institutionalised - you can't see outside of the box. There are plenty of jobs that you will be more than capable of doing - what you need to do is look yourself, stop always worrying about what others are doing, the Indeed Recruitment website is awash with vacancies.
Making the step to leave is always difficult, but when you have had the nuts to do it.....just read the posts on here from those (like me) who have left....you most certainly don't look back!
Given that most agreements are being ripped up now, by the time it starts it will probably be on a last in, first out system!

Re: Job ideas
what the f**k, charged 60p per job? Rate'd have to be high to make up for that.
