You were almost a veteran! One chap left after a day at our office.

Wish I'd left after 7 weeks. If you're going to leave you're better off doing it sooner rather than later that way you cut down your suffering. Too late for me now, too old to change so I guess I'll just plod on til I drop down dead with exhaustion one day whilst out on my daily walk to the moon!

Normally nothing much, especially for new starts.

However, Job Centre will sanction you. Also, any employer has a right to sue employees if they quit without notice, though it is very rare.
Royal Mail has the right to mention in any subsequent reference that you left without giving notice.

Is there some agreement, in the first 6 months ,that you can leave by mutual agreement if it isn't working for both parties?

Just walk and tell them you wont be bullied or harrassed by anyone.
They wont take any action on you for leaving,You just threaten to tell all to the papers about the bullying that is going on if they do.

Feeling similar at the moment. Shouted at and called stupid down the phone by a manager. Not been in RM six months yet and looking for another job. I'd make sure you have another job to go to first.

I never thought I would say this but it makes Me feel quite sad to see people say they want to sling the job in after such a short time. Ive had some real s**t jobs and Royal Mail isnt among them. I remember feeling ecstatic during My first week because it got Me off an assembly line where You had to raise Your hand if You needed a p---.

We have several vacancies in our office. The DOM hand picked only one of the numerous interviewees for a start , she started on a Tuesday and lasted one day.

Just stick with job another month and see how it is going. Just talk to colleagues.

Give it a few more weeks, once you are out the office you're getting paid to go for a walk. I'm sure Lino's act like that to "test" new starts, speak to colleagues, im sure they experienced the same.

You have to tell your line manager when you are going to the toilet in mcs. Some of them even follow you to make sure you're really going there.
