Induction Day

Post by dean_b »

Hi all.

I recently acquired my Angard ID badge on the 29th October to start work at the Sheffield mail centre.
However, Angard can somehow not manage to get me in on an induction day and it's all a bit frustrating.

It's been 3 weeks since getting the badge and every time I call them they tell me it's not up to them when
Royal Mail choose to have induction days.

Has anyone else had or having a similar experience or does it just take a while ?

I've been put on short time where i work so i need this job desperately.
Any help/info from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Dean.

Dean you need to prepare yourself to be disappointed at the "Angard experience".

Dean I am applying for a job mail sorting at Sheffield mail center and I have a interview and document day coming up soon. Do they ask any questions and what’s needed to bring with me. Many thanks

I joined Gatwick MC in Feb 2017 and still haven’t received an Induction Course - so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen.

They don’t want to pay you for sitting around on s course when you could be working.

what ever you do don't rely on regular work find another way. From mid December you should get plenty of shifts but once busy pre Christmas rush is over you can expect only 1-2 shifts per week if that
