Would leave in a heartbeat, but there are no jobs for miles around, I cashed in my pension early and went on to a 32 hour duty, I am only 30 squid a week worse off but it was worth it.

I take it none of you have ever laboured on a building site, try that then moan about 'physical pain' in this job. Or work in a shop and watch the clock for 8 hours a day, I didn't last a single day in that job and left before lunchtime from pure boredom.

FFS we're just walking around, you shouldn't be carrying bags or pulling anything that is heavy enough to cause you to be in pain at the end of the shift. :chuckle

I you're just unfit or old and knackered, then yeah it's not the job it used to be, because let's face it years ago it was a complete p*ss take what we did for our wages.

Come in on time, use a trolley or bags no more than 8kg (which will be 6 to carry once you take the first bundle out), walk at a decent pace and finish on time no matter what's left.

I'm at the point of quitting. Been with RM for 3 and half years. I just can't stand the bullying managers. I've come so close to walking out many times.

It's by far the worse company I've ever worked for.

I would leave Royal Mail but I am not looking for new job. So I am working on making myself much better photographer, and then try to get regular work to earn more money then I can buy better lens and camera and new mac powerbook.
