so it looks like my royal mail journey has come to an end . ive met some great people but was told today that im not going to pass my trial due to time off witch consisted of been sick at work and sent home, family emergency a child needed to go to hospital, 2 days isolation while awaiting covid-19 results (went back to work 30 mins after getting negative) . the thing that got me was " you chose not to deliver 600 letters over going to hospital with your kid . im sure most would agree ive chosen right there but alas genuinely gutted to lose this job
Just a glimpse my friend into what this company has become,you’ll find a better job I’m sure,the management are corrupt as ever so I shouldn’t shed a tear, I’ve done nearly 40 years and simply not the job for me anymore,good luck.
Sorry to hear this. RM managers really are a horrible bunch. If you are interested, contact ACAS. They are an independent agency that can help resolve work problems. I feel at these "unprecedented times" that RM would struggle to defend themselves.
But best of luck on your next job. RM isn't anything special by any means, and don't pay as well as people like to make out. So don't feel down (not saying you are), lots of different interesting industries out there.
Good luck I like many others are past the point of no return been in to long to walk away.if I could I'd take a job as a home shopping driver at the local supermarket that seems to be a lot less stressful.good luck...

Finally going after 32 years. Manager came up to me and said he had heard rumours that I might want to go. And would he like me to get it under way! With a brief you will be missed as he walked off! I won't miss him!
