Should I stay or should I go?

If you're thinking of going anyway why not mention this to your line manager and if he thinks you're a valuable asset, who knows? he might offer you the deal you're looking for.

I’d actually play it the opposite way ‘oh I’m enjoying it here at RM, it would take a really good offer for me to leave. Besides I already have my holidays booked in with RM for summer and over Christmas which you’d need to honour.’

That's about as likely as winning the lottery without buying a ticket. Can you even begin to imagine the size of the can of worms such an idea would open.

How does the old job compare salary etc wise, if it's better, or similar, then return to that job, if it's inferior then stick with RM.

Apart from eventually moving from p/t to f/t and getting your own round in years to come actual promotion prospects seem zero in deliveries.

When I told my DIM that I was going to leave he just asked "When?" so he could get it under way! Suited me though...

The main reason we work is for money and pension, anything else is extra, I'm lucky to have established myself and got a good duty, in fairness that was when the job was easy and no pressure, now it's much harder and as I've got a few years before retirement too late for me to move anywhere, in your case if your previous job pays more with better T&Cs go for it, if working in Royal Mail stresses you out, it's not the job for you.

It boils down to which job pays more and doesn't make you miserable.
