Is this a legit website, it looks a little dodgy

Same pay rates as Angard,and they seem very amateurish.Sorted out a group colour for them early just in case. :left:

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.

just tried the link again, and it doesn't work.

It also tells me the site was built with 1&1

this maybe ok for a small business. but for a recruitment firm, who is apparently advertising on behalf or a large organisation like Royal Mail.

I'm sitting tight and waiting to see what happens with RM Christmas Casual recruitment this year. I sincerely hope that RM deal with it themselves directly, rather than sub it out to someone else.....

Well I had decided that if Angard were running the show again this year there was no way I was going do the Xmas work. Especially as they never sorted out my pay for last year, but the good thing was I finished up owing them more than they owed me. In the end told them once they had sorted my pay out I would pay them what I owed them. After a while they stopped writing and never even acknowleged my complaint of the week non payment. So if they had run it this year I would have put money on the fact they would have tried to reclaim what I owe them.

I hope that RM, or whoever really does the recruitment, makes a better job of it because at the first sign of a cock up I shall be walking away and not giving them a second chance to try and screw me like Angard nearly did.

I recently spoke to one ex Xmas worker and it had taken over 3 months for him to get his full Xmas pay from them!

But will RM pay us better hourly rates Angard did? There are other Xmas casual jobs out there you know.
