I don't have any experience of this sort of situation, but I wish you all the best with your interview today. I expect your Rep will put your case well, and I hope the manager takes your record and circumstances into consideration.

Just be honest about it. You have a clean record. I’ve seen people get away with a lot worse in this company so I wouldn’t worry.

Best case scenario as it's a genuine mistake rather than intentional, you could get a 2 year serious.

I've been in a similar situation but my keys wasn't "lost" it rolled into a recess within the van, which was found days later, still got a 2 year warning because they had to replace all the locks in the meantime, still excessive in my opinion.

We were told that keys and any collection mail must always be carried in the back of the van. We've had keys go "missing" and nothing seems to have happened :confused

Currently still on suspension had an meeting with my line manager to go over the details before been processed further,
Rep felt that the meeting went well but with the area rep telling me more often than not it ends in dismissal I can’t shake any negative feelings.

I was working in number 6 crime area for criminal activity the in uk with bags that didn’t have clips on which I reported 2 weeks prior on a duty I’ve done 3 times to add to it we were the last ones out of the office due to an internal error by management by not producing enough prep to the frame leaving me and my partner quite stressed and pressured to finish on time.

These are some of the factors put forward in hope to recover from this.

Thanks again all for the words I appreciate it.
Well if indeed it goes arse up for you it is not the best job in the world but the way RM is going they need you more than you need them kind of thing anyway good luck!

Hmm I've known posties when emptying their collection pouches to have mistakenly put the collection keys in with the mail. It's happened to at least 2 of the guys I've worked with and the keys have been found at the mail centre. They are both still working with Royal Mail.
