Newbie saying hello

Post by bossyb »

Hi all, i would just like to say hello and tell you a story.

1-Applied for job passed all tests etc
2-Went for interview
3-Next day got email saying did not get job but put on waiting list
4-The next day had a phone call call saying i had the job, i told them about the email.
5-One hour later had another phone call saying i have not got the job(is this a record i had a job for an hour)
6-Two days later had phone call saying i have a job at a different branch(no problem with this as it is nearer home)
7-Two weeks later my online staus has just been updated to security checks passed
8-Now waiting for phone call

I am still worried about this as i have had nothing in writing and the orginisation leaves a lot to be desired
Sorry to have a moan on my first post but hopefully i have a job and can join you lot on the streets


Since writing this earlier i have had a phone call and i start on monday :Very Happy , what have i let myself in for :chuckle

Good luck.

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.

Nice one - quick word of warning the next 3 weeks may be a bit hectic as we have 4 bank holidays coming up and unfortunately we work the Saturdays in between but we get the same levels of mail as we would in a normal week - also with the elections/referendum coming up it will actually be busier than normal anyway.

So please don't despair over the next few weeks, as a new starter it will seem overwhelming but it will quieten down around early may.

Thanks for the advice, i did have the option to start in 4 weeks time but chose the earlier one, hopefully i can get through the first 4 weeks or so as i am a bit apprehensive,i have worked for P/force before so i have a bit of an insight how RM works
