I’ve been offered a place on the training scheme. Seems a lot of stipulations to it from what I’m seeing in the contract. Seems to be only up to 7.5 tonne initially.
How many years seniority do you have Nick?
Sounds like they are finally getting somewhere
Close to 20 years. Not sure if it done on seniority or not.
If this is the condition and it only goes to 7.5t initially. If I am not selected I won't be crying. It doesn't seem that attractive especially the obligation to cover ANY duty within an hour from where you live.
I thought they would have put you straight to Class 2 would be more attractive then. Doing it to become a general dogs body reserve working a mix of earlies, lates and nights then I think I’ll give it a miss. With the Mail centre being about half hour drive away compared to my 5 minute journey now I don’t think it’s personally worth it for me.
In the same boat buddy and not sure if I'll bother now with it tbh.
I am quite senior in my office with my own duty etc so not sure it be worth the hassle especially if your gonna get kicked from one mail centre to the next working lates/nights etc etc.
Exactly the same in my case. Won't be crying either way as in my opinion there were too many strings attached anyway. At least this year seems to be finally back to normal, pre covid workloads.

Wave 2 mech letters are down a fair bit. Used to be just Mondays where you'd get the odd batch which was barely worth walk sorting, now happens quite often. Some wave 2 batches now are so small, it's very tempting to just send them as manual
