You got anything lined up?
There's not a lot out there.

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.

Pity it wasn't 20 hours notice! :Very Happy Or if it's 7 days can't you get away with 3 1/2 days PRO-RATA? :Very Happy :Very Happy
Good luck with the new job, do us a favour before you go take RM to an Industrial Tribunal for using such a shitty system of Part-Time contracts! :wink:

As long as it takes to tell them to stick their job up their @rse then reach the door. 20 hr contract, if you don't intend to re-apply for a job with royal mail then just walk.
