I get the impression you are not sure about this? :hmmmm

Is something within the job causing problems?

Truth is, I'm hating the job, the managers, the posties, the customers and dogs.

Going back to Uni in September, so quitting soon to have a summer of festivals, holidays and drink with the money I've saved up doing this s**t job. That's all.

So one week or two? :whistle
:dance :dance :dance :dance

lol, fairplay mate.

As far as I know, it depends on how long you've been employed.

Technically you can leave now and forget about the notice. Lots did at our place. Royal Mail dont provide references just start/end dates so you would be OK if you did this. But to be courteous (if you want) then give 1 wk's notice!
