Leaving The Company

Post by RetroJunkie »

I know this might not get alot of responses, but was wondering what people have gone onto once leaving Royal Mail?. Has anyone left and come back to the company or did you find alot better employment elsewhere? this is strictly for postmen and women.

I've been with Royal Mail for about 14 years. People who leave usually fall into two catagories. People With A Sound Plan, who either exit to a well-planned retirement or another profession (I've known one to become a doctor, a few more to become lawyers, lots of others going from training/education into comfortable jobs). There are also People Who Take The Money And Run. That £15,000 they get from EVR is going to last forever! and they'll never have to work again! Sadly, you sometimes run into them a year or two later as Christmas casuals.

I worked for RM many moons ago.
Left. Pissed about a bit for a good few years.
Came back. Pissed about some more.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

How is job hunting for people who want to leave. I wouldn't know what I want to do for living, but I want more money than postman, flextime and free weekend and bit of travelling oversea :)

Same for me.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
