Hi guys sorry to bump but has anyone heard any more? The last 3 weeks have involved me banging my head against a brick wall with management completely unwilling to do anything to help. The application sat on there desk for a week without moving.. just typical :sad:

I'm a Rotherham Postie, to be honest I wouldn't bother transfering here, van shares are too long, managers who don't cseem to care about staff. Those who cut off are taken in office on a daily basis to have facts and figures quoted at them. I wouldn't bother pal, Rotherham office isn't the place to be right now

Hey guys, an update.

Still no sign of a transfer, got a letter from HR in Sheffield saying basically that im on a waiting list!! Seriously, how many people want to move to one office? Have been trying various things.

If there is anyone from Sheffield, Rotherham and surrounding area's on here, are any of your offices/Mail centers currently taking on or are about to? Getting a bit desperate to get moved now. Don't mind going as far as Barnsley but will have to rely on public transport. Would really appreciate your help as managers don't want to.

Also in reference to the comment above from Listonosz,

Rugby is exactly the same, over sized rounds and massively uncaring management.. several people have either been bought out or practically forced to quit, its horrible.

Don't expect a instant transfer mate. You could be waiting a long time.
