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

Fifty First Class stamps ( worth at least £31 ) each December.
I don't know of any other employer that offers a perk like that.

You get your very own forum to whinge and 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.

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

Re: perks/benefits
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.
