The future of postman/woman?

Post by jamesbond35 »

Hi everyone

Just started at Royal Mail a week ago and love it but now worried from yesterday news there will be jobs cuts regarding postman/women when it gets privatised...my question is will I be safe as a newbie?

Any positive answer would be great

No certainty but there's quite a turnover of staff so compulsory redundancies might be unlikely.

The overarching objective is to avoid compulsory redundancies.
Don't worry until it happens. It probably never will.
If they have given you a job it is because they have a vacancy. It isn't going to disappear overnight.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
