How often do you have a resignation in your office?

Post by postiewhite »

Im not talking about retirement, I mean actual resignation due to being peed off with the job and have found something else? We have had 2 in a year,both went on sick due to stress for months first and then never came back. I know most of us moan about the job but people leaving in our office (over a 5 year period) is very rare. We have 40 postmen.

More resignations than ever and mostly 'constructive resignations' as those leaving had no real choice. :sad:

My former DO, which employed about 250 people, has had about 20 IHR's in the last two years, five of which came from my code area, which was the smallest of six.

They get rid of people in our office easily enough with ill health and trumped up `conduct` issues without us having to fall on our own LWT(that nobody uses) sword. :no no
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.
