Well done!

Noticed the ONE days induction!

Was 2 weeks when I started!
The induction is just classroom stuff - watching dvd's on health and saftey, good practice etc.. He will probably be buddied up for 5 days then off into the big wide world on your lonesom.


Well done and enjoy, keep your head down, do the job and it will be all great. :dance

Well done fella,the advice I offer is take your time,don't rush mate,ask questions 99% of people will help as we have all been there and above all do not go sick for the first year even if you feel terrible get into work.If your feet are soft and you are not used to walking nip into a chemist and buy a bottle of surgical spirits and wipe this on your feet it really toughens them up.

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.
