I started 2 weeks ago with 3 other new posties, All of them quit in the first few days and I was sorely tempted to do the same. The job is HARD, especially to someone coming into it from an office job or something non physical. I don't think enough is done to relieve pressure on newbies and so people leave. My office is extremely short staffed but they can't get anyone to stay!

The points coming thru is that the loops are to big ,then surely they should be modified either offically or by common-sense,also the work load between the workers in a van differs this cant be right.i may be naive but the work should be shared 50/50 hence making the loop smaller would be easy ,but i bet the Post office dont want that always pitting man against man is always the way to go for them .
