Might Jack it in Tomorrow
Just had 2 weeks off and the thought of going in tomorrow is making me feel sick. I hate the job.

Re: Might Jack it in Tomorrow
Things are bad at the moment. Bad atmosphere at POMPU (we're not a mail centre any more
) - people just seem to want to score points, I know more than you etc etc. Apparently new delivery office for us on the way, perhaps a year off. Some 600 drivers will go there, some to SOMC and some EVRs

I had a nice holiday in the summer and didn't want to go back - first time I'd ever felt like that at RM. Very sad

Go sick with stress/depression, whatever, and use the time to decide what you want. You have full sick pay to support you.

Re: Might Jack it in Tomorrow
I sometimes feel like this after my day off, never mind a week of annual leave
Also, knowing what will hit you tomorrow makes it worse

Re: Might Jack it in Tomorrow
This is actually a common condition many, especially reserves, suffer from. My week off ended without dread because a mate rang me and said I'm on an easy with only 1 d-2-d this week. I usually don't want to know, and the Sunday before going back after my RWO is usually butterflies in stomach. OK this time but I know how you feel.
There are many in my office that counteract this dread by simply working every RWO so as to 'keep in the loop' and not have the unknown to face the following week, and thus mentally prepare themselves. A week off is for some quite stressful, a feeling of having no control or influence of what will happen the following week.
In fact, when I read back the 2 paragraphs I just typed above it sounds crazy that it actually happens to people. But it does.

Change office. If you put in for a transfer based on the grounds you have said you'd stand a good chance of getting somewhere quick.
From experience, you would not believe the difference from one office to the next.

Not too sure about that - they still haven't sold the return packet centre next to POMC which was closed years ago. Heard that Cashco are staying at POMC too.

When the DO (and probably the MPU as well) moves will that leave just Cashco? If it does i can't see them staying there long termPompey Boy wrote:Heard that Cashco are staying at POMC too.

PO1 1AA, on the corner of Station Street/Surrey Street junction. You will see Debehams to the right of it. It's a 3 storey square building with a taxi outside!SpacePhoenix wrote:Where's that on Streetview?Pompey Boy wrote:Not too sure about that - they still haven't sold the return packet centre next to POMC which was closed years ago.
