Part Time to Full Time

Post by johnnyp »

Whats the score with a postie on part time hours who wants to go to full time hours but keeps getting a knock back.
The person in question has been in the job for 13 years and only works 24 hours a week,but would love to work 39.
I may be wrong but thought after a period of time(2 or 4 years :hmmmm ) Royal Mail had to offer you a full time job.

Johnny you're getting confused with temp contracts,MTSF says 2 years,Law says 4,RM are ignoring the MTSF...
Your mate will only get a full time job if there is one available and he has enough seniority to sign for it.

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.
