This site did put me off my job before I even started.

Now I've started at beginning of Jan I love it and a lot of what people moan about on here I never see in my office, I may be lucky. But this is site is a bit OTT at times.

Now if I get any crap for that comment i will prove my point lol

You mentioned in another post you did not want to name your office,go on tell us where it is.
You've nothing to worry about,and it's good that you seem to work in an office where there aren't any problems mentioned on here.
They are out there,so,where do you work.

Thread bookmarked again.

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.

Bookmarking threads Postman is the kind of crap I expected. Why you need to about that post is beyond me, all I said is the site is OTT at times, enough to put people off joining RM.

No I'm not telling you my office. No were near you anyway, NW England is all I'm saying.

How does it sound like Utopia, I've not mentioned what goes on at all. Just no were near as bad as what people make theres out to be.

Prime example of OTT there mate

I'm not sticking up for the author of the topic in anyway I'm simply putting up my own personal experience which was one sentence so if you want to be a keyboard warrior about it or anybody else don't waste your time.

Yeah I get your point but isn't that the same with any job?

TBH mate I just don't want to mention my office, I don't know why but i don't want to dig a hole for myself ready for the future

A bit Ironic everytime I do say something on this site I dig myself a hole anyway haha

Postieparker,,

All that a newbie to any job should do to intergrate is to LISTEN, LOOK, AND LEARN...

Im not saying that every senior person is correct alll the time and that goes for me... But think about it...

There are alot of proud long serving posties on this site who have seen with there own eyes and lost alot of money over princables and been on strike over morals and issues that most politictians wouldnt understand...

People of this job have been and still are being attacked by RM,. If you dont see it now...

GO READ ALL THE LINKS ON BURSLEM D.O....

I wont say no more..

TC MATE...

out :crazy:

OK for the job look listen and elarn applies but not for this site I don't think so. Isn't this why it's a public forum?

I understand all the s**t that has happened to a lot of people, Burslem etc

All I was trying to say is that this site put me off joining becasue it's a bit OTT at times. You can't tell me I'm wrong becasue I'm sure this site wouldn't of been around before you joined to have a look at. I was, I looked at it and that's what I thought. Simple as that
