Im talking crap ???????? :no no
listen m8, i have no idea why angard started me erlier than anyone else,, i was suposed to start on the 2nd november but got turned away as my name wasnt on the list ( why dont you take a look at my earlier post's).
i then got a call and eamil 1 week later to start on the 14th nov,, i assume i was just lucky,, and dont forget,, offices/outhouses are starting casuals at different times and dates <<< not my fault.
but i still hope yhe luck changes for all of you.

No need to be arsey to people who've managed to start work 21CP! If you didn't intend to be fair enough but it came across that way! Those of us who have been fortunate to get a confirmed start date aren't bragging, we got messed around beforehand too and may still get messed around we're just crossing our fingers for the rest of you.

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.

Postmans right there were a number of Casuals on the books pre September and were taken over on an Angard contract. RM always has casuals for busy periods, work might not be on an every night basis like Christmas but it keeps (kept!! :mad ) you in beer tokens.
To be honest it was a struggle to get any sense out of Angard regarding Christmas for those already on the books, but I just asked my Manager when he wanted me in and turned up! Been doing lates for 3 weeks and my names been on an Angard timesheet and I have been paid (incorrectly) so keeping my head down and hoping it lasts.
