A 2025 vote on whether you would recommend a postal workers job nowadays.

[hewittinspain]

Simple yes/no option and optional reasons why you would/ would not recommend this job to anyone nowadays.

[Wullie10]

Where do you start? light the blue touch paper. Stand well back. Simple no from me.

[funkflex55]

No and the main reason is the terrible 'managers'.

[fitz15]

A dying industry

[Shirtbuttons]

NO

Around a year ago, the DOM at ours asked if anyone knew of anybody who’d like to work at our DO,needless to say no one came forward.

The job is physically more demanding now with increased pressure as everything is being closely monitored via our PDAs. RM is going through a major period of change which can affect morale on the shop floor and my concern is that if managers don't handle these changes fairly, there is a real risk of good, experienced staff either quiet quitting, or worse, leaving the company for good.

You wont recognise royal mail staff in a few years , will be like a below par Evri tbh . Its sad that its come to this , greed destroying everything.

Absolutely I would recommend it. There's years left in the job yet. Given the proper training and doing the job properly there's no reason not to encourage workers into the industry. All we need is a real independent trade union and it'll provide years of work.

Not a chance, although my office completes and fully staffed it's going downhill fast and the pay isn't good anymore.

[Hyrrokkin]

The job is on it's ass and dying a death right before us - used to be great back in the day complete s**t now

[richj2009]

Not just the piece of s**t royal mail has turned into but I think all jobs at the "unskilled" level have been drained of any positivity and self worth. Jump ship and I reckon you'll find yourself in a similar situation. Would I recommend? Yes if your physically fit enjoy being outdoors and are used to being downtrodden at the bottom end of the job market by corporate pigs.

Not at all. All the industry needs is a worker led fighting back trade union. Its always been that way.
