I'm out. IHR

After 23 years I have this week parted company with Royal Mail due to ill health. It's going to be strange not getting up and going to work every morning but it was getting harder to go in every day. I'll really miss the lads and the banter but that's life.

good luck mate, all the best for the future, you got out at the right time there’s quite a lot of covid outbreaks in RM offices according to the coronavirus articles sub forum, not a good time to be an employee with ill health.

Good luck for the future..
Must admit with IHR being mentioned often on this forum and having knackered knees and feet myself- RM shouldn't be proud that eventually all its long term staff end up sick! And thinking back over the years I can think of very few people who weren't off sick shortly before they left! So when the public tell me the job keeps me fit I often wonder which bit! Heart & lungs perhaps but not much else!

I've had rheumatoid arthritis for seven years and struggled many days through the pain rather than going sick. I wasn't on delivery much though as I've been DOM support for most of that time. However I was told to shield for 12 weeks due to the drugs I'm on and that break from work just tipped my health over the top. I'm 62 though so can't complain.
