Calling all senior Posties (over 20 years service)

Post by guyscliffe »

Hiya Folks ....
Just wanted to pose a question,to all of you that been with Royal Mail,for up and over 20 years.
Personally,I have put in just a smidge under 24 years service.
It was a job I once loved,but now i'm afraid its going to the wall VERY QUICKLY :'(
Even the customers are becoming pissed off with their quality of service,that they recieve.....
Not Good,in my opinion ...
Your thoughts ????????????

(22 years)Still the best job I've ever had by a country mile,but then I'm an old balding laid back hippy.I do my 8 hours with a full 40 minute break in the middle then go home stress free.I'm amazed at the amount of moaning about the job that goes on to be honest. :neutral:

2 months short of 25 years, going in tomorrow to sign off my IHR + lump sum due to arthritis and other related stuff.

am only 48, scared and excited at the same time if that makes sense.

main priority is just to get better now.

gonna miss the lads and the banter, but not the job.
