perks/benefits

Post by reggiebaby »

Hi folks.
Im new to this postman business. On my 2nd week. Just wondered do we get any decent "lifestyle benefits?
I can never get the site to work properly as regards the lifestyle bit. Cycle stuff and childcare works fine

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If you tell a manager you can't finish your walk in time he'll give you a free argument, it's up to you whether it's 5 minutes or the full half hour.
