Is a permanent role 25hr a week
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Hi. I only started with RM in the middle of October. My contract is only 5hrs a week (Sunday parcels). I only worked the 5 hrs for probably the first 2 weeks (training, driving assessment etc) but since first week in November I've done at least 35 hours a week overtime. Does this mean I won't get any paid holiday (apart from the 2 days in 6 months I'll get from my contracted hours)?
Thanks. I never knew any of this.
