First Day

Post by Postman Dan »

Hey Guys,

Basic question really, what will I be doing on my first day?

How long will it bw before I get a walk?
Also, when should I order my uniform?

I have my induction at Manchester tomorrow and start at my office on Thursday.

Cheers
Dan

Join the union.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I didn't do anything in that's in that link. When I went to give in the training sheet I'd been given at the induction the manager said "put whatever that is away son, we've got work to do" (ooh er) and then we moved some boxes around the office.
