Transfers

[TA Postie]

Hi all, new to this forum and just like to ask a question. I started with Royal Mail just over 1 year ago, and to be honest im finding it pretty s**t as im on a different duty every day and never knowing what my day off will be. Now im expecting to be put on a permanent duty of course, but my DOM just seems to make a habit of pissing me around. Im just wondering if theres a chance of getting a transfer to a mail centre? and if im full time just now, would I get full time at a mail centre, or could my hours be cut if it happens. thanks for any help

Personally, I would expect to be offered worse terms and conditions if I put in for a transfer. Nothing with this barmy company is ever straightforward anymore, anyone putting in for a transfer could be seen by management as a means towards achieving their target part-time workforce.
Sorry, I can't be more help, but I'd sooner let sleeping dogs lie, so to speak.

Mail centres are being closed and staffing cut all over the country, so it's pretty unlikely,
but if you did manage to get a transfer into one it would probably be as a Part Timer, and
PT OPGs in Mail Centres are mainly on evening or night attendances.

is it possible though?

it may be worth a try, as a mail centre near to me are asking for a number of full time jobs, the correct process is to advertise local within, then go to the transfer list, then if still needed advertise at the job centre. good luck
