Leaving the business

Post by ste666 »

Done 19 hard years. Finally time to say goodbye. Been waiting for this moment to arrive for awhile now. But finally I get to say it. :nana :nana . I know I've not posted here. But this forum has been a lifesaver at times. Thanks for all the information. I probably would have quit years ago if this site didn't exist. Keep up the good work. Wish you all well in the future. 1 week to go :Very Happy and I'm out :Very Happy

Good luck for the future, if you’re retiring enjoy.
Rumours have it that a 1000 are leaving per month.
Think that probably includes new starters, they don’t hang around for long!

Have you got another job lined up?
Best of luck if your job hunting, it might take you some time to unwind from the stress or it might not, as in my case :Very Happy , best thing I ever did was leaving behind the toxic shithole, wished I'd done it years earlier.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

No job, going traveling for a year or more. Life events changed (divorce), so time to move on and look for a new start in the future. I have ideas, I have some money behind me. Always wanted to travel. So now is the prefect time for a fresh start. And staying in the job now would juat bring me more down, never getting the energy to start something new. Scary yes. But now I feel the whole world is in front of me again. Rather than just the 10-12 miles of my delivery :Very Happy :nana . Wish you all the best for the future.

I retired 3 years ago after 20 years in, best move ever, I now work in a supermarket 20 hours a week best job I have ever had, no pressure managers are great no grief off them at all, ok I dont need to work but I enjoy it, I loved RM years ago but what ruined it was going private its no wonder they are leaving in there droves.
