who on these boards is seriously looking for a new job....?

[countyboy]

Had enough a long time ago but the recession hasnt exactly made it easy to find anything else. Maybe we are lucky to have a job at Royal Mail?

Exactly ! 25 years of computer software development experience counted for Jack when I was made redundant this time last year.

It's a big bad world out there - and it can only get worse under ConDem ...

Ditto, over 20 years in Finance...In some ways I would like to have my old life back and being constantly skint is not easy. However, on the plus side I am fitter than I have ever been and whatever the bad things about this job (yes I know they will get worse !) it sure as hell beats getting humiliated at the job centre. Yes love to get another jiob,,one thing saying it and another doing it !!

i would keep your job, it still has a higher pay rate than any unskilled jobs, yes it can be crap, especially this time of year.
yes we all feel pissed off sometimes.
just think very carefully about leaving as could you survive on benefits, if you couldnt find anything.
i hope you get better, see a dr or physio.

i'd never leave the job unless i had something else lined up, that would be crazy an the better half would kill me. i forgot to mention in my op, im on one of them fackin stupid 3 month rolling contracts so my jobs far from safe anyway. it really does make you think your just a worthless piece of s**t when you get a letter telling you your services are no longer needed in a months time only for royal mail to then send another letter saying there very kindly offering you another 3 months. i'd love to be in a position to be able to tell them to shove it up their arse. lets see what the new year brings.......

After 11 years I feel I can't wait to quit this hell-hole, but sadly at 51 I may be too old to find anything this new park and loop comes in in the new year and that just might be a straw too many for my poor old back. Never thought I would feel this way but that's progress for you.R.I.P loyal mail.

[plainpat]

I know I am. i've really taken a dislike to the job recently. I've never felt as tired as I do now as I never get 2 days off together to recover. d2d junk is getting to me and to top it off, I've developed rock hard skin on both my big toes, physical damage caused by all the milage I cover. heres hoping 2011 brings wealth and of course, a new job.....

soz for the rant, I just remembered I have to go to the hell hole in 8 hours.....

I used to suffer really badly from hard skin on the balls of my feet and big toes, as well as between the toes where they rubbed together, when I was still working.

I invested in one of these a few years back, expensive, but really did give relief at the end of each day.

I'm going to be crippled when I go back to work. My feet are lovely and soft now with no "postman's foot" lumps going on anywhere. First time in years that my toes have feeling in them lol

[Darren Bent]

I would like to get a new job but I am not looking for one. I wouldn't know what I want to do. I doubt I will get better paid job than Royal Mail or floating off weeks perks.

You can get them on line April........I think its Anne Summers website

[Thorby Bislam]

I want out now. Been moaning about the job for a while but now I've got to do it in before it does me in.
I know how the arguments go: It's fairly well paid for what it is and there are too few jobs around in the recession.
But thing is: the more workload they pile on us, the less well paid it gets. I would gladly trade it for a lighter, lower paid job.

You won't have much left out of your lump sum if when these ladies hire you, you have to pay them

That's how I felt. In October I got another job, less stress, less workload and more pay. Never felt happier after all them years ESP the last 3 or 4 on royal fail. I was humming and erring bout leaving but just looked at the view of d2ds extra this extra that and thought there has to be better and there is.
