The 'How was your Angard day' thread

[ralf999]

Been the Night at angard,

couldn't sleep at daytime, noisy neighbors, noisy street, totally tired.

Money missing from angard, and Tesco is ripping you off with "special offers": 1 for £2, 2 for £5

Shopping takes a long time, as stuff is always placed in wrong shelves. Need to read every f***ing label, can't trust anything or anybody.
Shelf label: £1.00 for "Product B" but the shelf only contains "Product XXX" which costs £2.45. Lucky if you found out at the cashier.

Complain at Customer Service and they call security if you lose your cool.

At night back to angard,
great, now the bus service has changes routes. Need to ask at every bus whether he takes you where you want to go.

first day was today and everything went prefectly fine what so ever :)
working for just under 3 weeks doing Parcels and air mail which suits me just down to a tee

Just finished first day today at York, a couple were turned away, Everyone was commenting on Angard even the RM staff were embarrassed about the situation. Angard hadn't sent id cards meaning they had to hastily make the cards. besides that the day went ok.

Lots of "Visitors" passes in the MC today! Most of the lad and lasses moaning about pay for last week. I tried to explain the Fri-Thurs week but went over alot of heads.

Its getting very busy loads of stressed out managers running around, lates totally blew out on packets and thats with at least 20 casuals in working like they were on fire.

It really annoys me that casuals are treated so badly when it is their (our) hard work that seems to get the work done and everyone on RM's books on track for a Christmas bonus, Angard casuals get a pay cut

IF they sort one out for me it be nice!

Started at York with ndever - Had to have a security pass made by royal mail photocopying my driving license, so my pass has a delightful picture of 16yr old me with 'DVLA' stamped all over my face!
Work itself was just how I expected, they're a friendly helpful bunch at York and my fellow casual post pixies are all lovely too. In short, Angard = nil points, Royal Mail = 1.

Started Normanton last night

It was good we finished our entire work load with an 1 hour 15 to spare so they made us do another lot, and then another

But the guy who train us was great, and every body was very help full, feet and legs are a bit stiff but when you get em moving there alright
can't wait to go back tonight (no i'm not joking)

East London mail centre 06 till 14
Pretty good since the managers let us 40 mins instead of the 30.
We got through our load quite easily, becomes a bit brain numbing when on roads and the wholeline has nothing for your road.
Can't complain at least I don't have to deal with this angard crapard.

Turned up for my first day on late shift and guess what my name and a few others were not on the list and no ID badges. After some phonecalls by RM staff who seemed quite embarassed by the chaos we were eventually allowed to start. Nobody seems to know what we are supposed to do with the contract do we post it back to the clowns at Angard? I have a horrible feeling we are also going to have trouble with the pay.

Allow me to sum up my night last night. I stood on my feet and sorted letters according to inward and outward status for 8 hours straight with a 30 minute break somewhere in the middle.

I don't envy you... doing it for 2 hours on overtime was enough for me when I used to do it!
