Perks of being a postie?

Post by Rudolph_Hucker »

I overheard a couple of chaps saying we have a special deal with English Heritage, where we get reduced/free admission.

So, is this true also are there any other benefits we are entitled to?

Is there a site or somewhere where these, if they exist are available to see?

Cheers.
If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
