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

[internetguy]

really Tman you should know better than to get out of your comfort zone and start talking about delivery matters.

"Delivery matters.." Yeah, like multi-drop delivery jobs in the Real World are in any way comparable with RM's. Well, they have a van too, I suppose and an extremely high staff turnover. Must really be a great job then, and I can't think why every pissed-off postie doesn't do it. .

Why don't you leave and do it too? Possibly because despite the gloom and doom you forecast, you know this is still a better job than the one the OP's off to?

Off you pop back to the spanners and swarfega...

Really Fish you should know better than to etc etc.....Swarfega's use was discontinued years ago in RM. Silly old Fish..

im sorry but you really have no idea about the job im taking on, your talking total crap to be fair. how on earth can this job be better than my new job?, i totally hate this fecker. constant shite from managers, constant lasping, 20 hour contract (expected to work over), working every saturday, constantly tired....i could list a thousand other reasons why i think this job is crap, and you think my new job will be worse.....LOL whatever man....jobs at the branch im starting at come up once in a while. i actually applied for the company out of the blue 5 months ago online (no jobs were on offer at the time)and got a call "out of the blue" 2 weeks ago for an interview. my friends been there 6-7 years and im only getting this job as one of the guys is retiring. did you read my post earlier ?, were not talking city drops here, were on about rural locations. anyway, i've read enough of your nonsense.........

Well I wish you luck internetguy, I think now is the time to jump ship, pretty soon we'll all be working for a private company and they'll probably sub contract spanner work to the local zoo.

thanks dvb. its pretty sad how things have turned out at RM. i did a 5 year stint as a postie (i left around 2001) and my god, how things have changed. i'll still pop here as i like the banter and i'll let you know how the job goes, im so happy to be jumping this s(t)inking ship....

I wish you all the best. I left over 7 months ago to drive hgvs and haven't looked back. I have pension ,A full time contract, guaranteed 39 hours pay a week anything over is paid ot, no s**t from idiot managers, I could go on. Worst? Monthly pay.

ha, thats my plan too, as i stated in an earlier post. im going to save up for the test/licence in hopefully a better work enviroment than what this lot can offer. i plan to be in hgv's within 2 years (my youngest will be in school by then). thanks for the best wishes bud !!

Unless you only have a few years to go to retirement, leaving RM is a total no-brainer.

Even if you dont crack up under the mental and physcological pressure from the screws, you will be physically fcuked anyway.

[im sorry but you really have no idea about the job im taking on, your talking total crap to be fair.


You hope I am anyway, though it's not "the job" you're taking I'm particularly talking about, but this type of job.
The "grass is always greener", as they say, and it still holds true.
Funny how many ex-RM staff give it the old "leaving was the best thing I ever did" speech, and the sheep lap it all up.
Strange how many wonderful jobs there are, just waiting to be filled by hard-done-by ex posties in these recessionary times.
Even stranger is how many come back (even as agency staff) mumbling things like "yeah it didn't work out too well"...

Start swinging the lamp and pass me a spanner........it doesn't necessarily have to fit anything, it just makes me feel important

[Tman]

I'm sensing deep resentment here from you DV....surely the pain of failing the pongo Technical Selection Test has dulled by now?

Resentment............why on earth would I be resentful................ what did you have to do for the TST and did it involve a swarfega initiation ceremony like some sort of masonic induction perhaps............anyway, no I didn't take the test, I feel it would have been an invasion of my.................privacy.
