Madelin4 the way things are going at the moment you will be very lucky to get a transfer.Are you full time?Any job that becomes vacant from what i can see and have heard are made part time.Whats your sick record like?Managers very fussy with sick records.Will your DOM let you go?Unless you have a very good reason he may not let you go as he will then have to cover your job,are you a driver or ex p.h.g. they dont like to loose these sort of people.
You could always resort to making yourself such a pain in the arse that he will want to get rid of you,cue suggestions

You will not get a transfer over 35 hours and the way I can see it more like 30 hours.

Ok my sweet chickadee.. IN my opinion your fulltime and want a transfer for Wot reasons.. Need a valid reason... This Is where E.H.S. Comer in very handy..
They say they Cant sway a move for you but they have a lot of clout still so First stop is there... If its Thru Health then it might be a diff matter but still go to the E.H.S. Or ATOS how they are now known... You say your willing to drop hours? Then i think they will listen... But i hope not down to 20 or 25 hrs.. Then its an AG job... Hold out for a F/T job Mate... But you need a back up and a story based on the truth... Get Dr's or health sevices involved.. I dont want any info here as its personal for u but if you ever want a chat PM me and i will always reply... Only to happy to help.. Funny enough i want a transfer and ive got issues to deal with in my MC... Sorting it out now... Fingers crossed for both of us Madelin... Hope you get on ok and This letter will cost you only £50.00. So a cheque or postal order will do nicely... THANK YOU... L TOMMO THE POSTIES AGONY UNCLE... and pain in the arse!!! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:


OUT


DONT LET THE BASTARDS GRIND US DOWN MADELIN HONEY!!! :crazy:

If you have an office in mind, get in touch with the DOM there. You may be able to sort a transfer out without going down the official way, if your DOM agrees to let you go and the new office has vacancies. You wont get full time but maybe 30hrs.

Just curious why not full time,are you saying that all new entrants/transfers ect will not be full time.
Surely if a full timer leaves and a full timer wants it then that's it.
Or is this RMs policy now?

Also one of my guys have been waiting for months and went down this route after i got some numbers off someone on here with no luck.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

POSTMAN.. every full-timer that has left my office the duty has had a part-timer replace it, i think its just they way things going, a full-timer out = part-timer in...

I think if you answer yes to "Are you on the attendance procedure?" on the transfer request form then thats the end of of the application but if you go down the route that I suggested then a good word from your current DOM could get round this. I would value his/her opinion in thinking about accepting a transferee.

Hi madelin4, a friend of mine transfered back to my office last year where he worked for several years before he moved, he returned for personal reasons EHS involved etc. the lads on here are right, he is still on a 30hr contract to this day but you do say that you will be happy with this. The rep has been fighting for him to go full time, the DUM recently asked my friend 'do you still want to go full-time as I was told you don't want to'. Unusual that a DUM lying!!

You can always tell when a screw, dum or Laurel and Hardy are lying-the lips always move. .
