tranfer to previous office

Post by pakuszta »

Hello everyone , two weeks ago I had a transfer to another office, unfortunately my family situation has changed dramatically and I would like to return to my previous office. Is it possible? If so, when I return, will I be in the same position as before the transfer (I had my 3 regular rounds), and how is the seniority list, (I work in RM for 5 years), does I stay in the same position, or unfortunately I fall down?.Thank you for any answer .

i believe you wait 12 months under normal circumstances but have seen new starters transfer within a few months
you will have lost the duty you previously held if it's already been filled but keep seniority when applying for any others
you didn't say if you were ft or pt, sometimes they may only offer pt roles
speak to your old dom and union rep and explain, they may be able to do a u-turn

Now I have 35 hours and my round, on the previous one I had 30, but it does not matter I can lose those 5 hours and my route, the priority for me is to get back to the previous office.

Yeah you can go back. There is a 30 day period which you can change your mind.

how easy was it to transfer? I'm interested in doing it? problem is the office is 5 hours + away, so not somewhere I can just pop in and ask.

I personally have heard of the 30 day thing but can't find anything official on it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
