I went in to meet my Manager last week as I start tomorrow (gulp). My job was advertised as Weds to Sat 9.30 to 2.30 but he said he wanted me to work Mondays and Tuesdays as well and the start time would vary. I've got children so I was put in a very awkward situation. :sad:

Hi, I'm just wondering about the 3 month contracts will they just end after 3 months or is there a possibility of it becoming long term?

While it depends on on revisions and various things going on in your office/area, the contracts are usually renewed every 3 months.
Very rare for it to be just a 3 month contract and then get rid.

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.
