I worked with a guy the same age as me with longer service, who would have got a better pension and lump sum than me. But he wouldn't take VR/EVR because he said he didn't want to be at home with wife all day! :Very Happy
You must have all married the wrong person!

I'm holding out for a chance at VR.

The DOM and Planner's data claims I should be completing my duty on time. My indoor work has been tested and I passed with flying colours but I'm struggling to complete so it must mean I'm physically not up to the delivery part which the planner's computer says is bang on. Medical Retirement please :nana

I am told I am too slow on my round as the person who does it on my day off gets gets back 30 mins earlier. The fact that person is 25 years younger is neither here or there! So now I have one and a half extra roads to do so the other guy finishes on time. And I struggle to complete! Thank god retirement is on the horizon!!

This is exactly what RM is like and its disgusting.You will always get people that work at different speeds,and they cant or wont see that.All they see is what they want to see and the faster the postie is the better.They dont care how the job is done as long as its done as fast as possible and dont have to pay out any overtime.It makes my blood boil.Oh he can do it why cant you!!!! They never take into account the differing ages of the posties either.Dont let them get you down.

Stop moaning and just leave, I did and i probably work harder now but am a lot happier. Being self employed gives me a lot of satisfaction and its great making my own decisions.

What do you think terms & conditions would be like if nobody was prepared to defend them?

Don't worry - wouldn't surprise me if we in RM are all self employed before too long as well. Seems that every other person these days is self employed. Cheaper for the company.
Good security means trying to limit the damage a Trusted role can do
