Post by Walter sobchak »

Has this increased from 5 days to 2 weeks + ??

Couple of new starters at our place seem to be getting extra training time.

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.

The training period is longer than two weeks. All new starters should have a training pack which is completed by the workplace coach and the line manager.

The new training programme includes a battle with Leighton. Once you beat him you officially become Leighton's nemesis.

Why does that not surprise me.
The record I have heard of is 20min then 1hr.
Both were expected to be given HCT & given a start point & deliver, no training, both walked.
