Thought we wern't allowed to moan.

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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
6 years service and yes still love the job. Sometimes I get very frustrated but I'm very lucky to have the job I have which on the whole i do enjoy however I work in an SPDO in the countryside with no managers to deal with on a day to day basis!!

I always moan when I am pleased.

Of course there are many things i'd love about it to change such as D2D'S Saturdays off ( I'm a poor shat on reserve) so rarely got one off. I could rattle on the negatives.
The positives though for me are: I love weekly pay, i enjoy most of the walks i get put on, customers in the main are nice, loads of overtime/S.A, well paid for what we do, Pension etc etc.
Let's have a wee bit Royal Mail love for a change ;)
Hate this job with a passion now.
The job is like a Japanese endurance test.
The management/directors of this company are an absolute shower of bastards.
Would be off like a shot, if the opportunity presented itself.
13 years now and I enjoy it more than ever, I've no doubt that having my own rural duty helps, the only thing I hate is weather like todays and that's one thing even the slug salmond didn't say he could improve
Nearly 2 years in and I'm still enjoying it. No time to get bored, keeps you fit and slim, and the money's not bad either. Having worked in an office for 20 years previously this is definitely better.
3 weeks in and hating it all. Too many targets, too much to carry, too much pressure to work beyond your time, too many D2D's, too many parcels, too long a route and badly designed equipment. Feels like the company just want to work you to the bone and get all they can out of you.
