New Starter - possibly?

[Lounge Lizard]

Says it all...........this chap got an email!

What happened to the postal service!

We're all doomed!

Well, yes, but we're all using this forum rather that writing to each other easier, cheaper and much quicker isn't it ?

TBT - I think that is the advice for new reps not new starters.

It's hard

A lot of the issues here vary nationwide, it should be said. Newbies could end up in a decent office and think it's a great job. In my office, for example, we still have job and finish!! And in fairness, on my walk, I come in at 6, take half my meal relief and I'm still done at 11am-11.30am on a Tuesday and Saturday, 12.30-1pm at the latest the rest of the week. This is considered a medium walk - 507 DPs! This is also including IPS, don't use my car, no rushing about, correct weight for bags, no doorstepping etc. This is why I'm still among the last people back (that is, of those, among the few who do actually come back). I have the PHG man taking the piss about how I take my time! Still, this won't last forever. Reality will eventually arrive here and everywhere else too.

Oh yeah, I've been studying for the most part and I'm leaving just after Christmas to continue further. Still, I've learned a lot over my 3 years in terms of speaking up and not talking any s**t. Largely inspired by others my office and the arguments put forward on here. That is why I say to those who do the job properly: don't ever give it up. You might think you're banging your head against a brick wall but at least you have your self-respect and you are encouraging others to join you in having a go.

Must feel good to k ow u have a get out plan to be honest this job means nothing to me due to the pay packet the only thing that makes me think twice is how I felt getting the job thinking I'd never get a postie job .. But once your in it's a different story dreaming that you'd done better at school or college putting up with crap u do there watching all the normal peoe go by having a nice easy day without exhaustion can I get a job earning 150 or more a week? You know it's bad when the bucket mengo past and there lagging at you bcos of ur pathetic
little job while they earn nearly double you are with less crap to deal with on a daily basis .

Unlikely it took them 8 weeks to contact me when I started - However, might be worth making a friendly call to the contact name and number if you have one, just to remind them your there. It will also show willingness to work as well.
