That is not a delivery job - sounds more like a salesman/marketing job with a requirement for a good standard of English Comprehension and reasonable written communication skills. The description could even cover doing something like door step debt collecting and not to put a finer point on it, if you can't fight your corner with your manager, I don't think you have the outlook to deal with someone refusing to cough up cash.


Still good luck if you do go for it.

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.

......or even door step selling. The ad most likely "conveniently" missed out "OTE" before the £25000 was mentioned, too.

You'd give up regular work for that? :crazy:
