In light of their repeated disinterest and lack of care for their employees, I am going to quit.

It is simply not worth the repeated hassle and stress to continue working for such a shambolic company.
Wonder if the national newspapers would be interested in someone from the inside giveing them a tell all story,, im my opinion they would.
Now that would be a kick up Angard's ass,, and RM's too for that matter :left:
The people 'interviewing' me (after a 3 hour queue they ticked a few boxes to make sure you had brought the documents it asked you to bring - after checking 3 times!), they said they were employed on a temporary basis through an agency too!

The irresponsible team sent me all offer letters and gave me ca call even to make sure im there.After travelling long 20 miles when i reached there my name was not there.I showed them all the letters and my security check was also passed.had to return home.dialled 0845 numbers from my mobile and wasted some quids.
sent them emails....no reply...no phone calls....its not something about a job..but just imagine how we have been fooled by these guys. why no one sue them...only because the people running behind such a job are certainly in capable of doing that......

Hi All,
My son and my partners son both supposedly had jobs this christmas,one in Leeds and one in York,both have had the same experience.The worst thing is them getting peoples hopes up and letting them down so badly at christmas- it is disgraceful ,but who would you complain to?

Some have complained to the Press. For example: http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 18&t=41072" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; some have complained to Angard, and been fobbed off. Other's have complained to Royal Mail Managers, who quite frankly can't do anything. Because Angard is a seperate subsidiary of Royal Mail Group, and the Managers seem to get the same crap from Angard that you do. :crazy: The only other possibility I can think of, is to contact Royal Mail Group directly. Here's the address:
Royal Mail Group Ltd
100 Victoria Embankment
London
EC4Y 0HQ

and the Web address: http://www.royalmailgroup.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Good luck.

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.
