I would say it depends on your circumstances and how badly you want to get out of your current job. RM generally initially give short term contracts to new recruits in case they deem you unsuitable. It then makes it easier to get shot of you. Maybe worth going to the interview and explain your situation and see what they say.

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.
