free stamps?

Post by Telberto Carlos »

Do posties get free stamps at Christmas or was someone winding me up at our office?

Only been in the job 3 months so still tonnes of stuff I don't know.

Cheers

Yes - but think you have to be in RM for a certain time (not sure how long) as I didn't get them in my first year.

its only 50 though.

lol 'only 50', come on dude. Sometimes you guys don't know how good we have it. I've been going from job to job from leaving high school back in 95' because I get bored easily, and this is by far the best job yet. :dance Oh and I've had my allocation of stamps already. I didn't get any last year, but I did only start at the beginning of December 2012.

I tend to agree on the stamp issue being a good thing. £30's worth is nothing to be sniffed at.

Really shocked that the stamps are not Pro Rata

No, part timers have as many friends to send Christmas cards to as the rest of us. :nana
And I've actually got MORE than 50 friends. :Very Happy

You read too much into my post.

The OP is new I was only informing him how much we get, in case he thought we got free stamps for life or something. Also check my posts I agree this is also the best job I have had.

Yeah we have it REAL good. Bullying, harassment, planners disappearing after new walks are implemented and are nowhere to be seen for you to give the feedback. Manager is hardly ever in the office, Overtime rate is crap, 'asked' to work through our breaks - need I go on?
50 stamps. How generous of RM to give us something most of us won't even use! How about a £30 shopping voucher so I can buy some bloody food!

Never thought of that! You'd think part timers would have got second class ones!
