Part-time job ideas?
Has anyone got any suggestions on part-time jobs to go for? Royal Mail is now just a base salary for me. I Scan in at 06:24, scan out when my shift ends. Like hell I'm going to work a crappy reduced hourly rate lugging 20 kilos in the rain and dark! And come January there won't even be that anyway.

Re: Part-time job ideas?
Everyone I know who has left Royal Mail and works for Sainsburys, Morrisons or Waitrose as a delivery driver seems happy in their work, That's eight people in all. Three more work on the tills in Sainsburys and say it's better. Yes, you can have annoying shifts, but they get spread around and the actual workload is fairly measured.
It won't be for everyone of course. You'd have to work sometimes in an evening or on a Sunday. But if the hours suit you well enough, I'd say it's a decent option for those lacking a trade or other specialist skills.

speaking as someone who started out doing supermarket work, i find the opposite to be true.DGH wrote: ↑15 Nov 2022, 17:33Everyone I know who has left Royal Mail and works for Sainsburys, Morrisons or Waitrose as a delivery driver seems happy in their work, That's eight people in all.

I'd never go back to supermarket work. Ever.

That rate is probably still far higher than working for a supermarket?mattick wrote: ↑15 Nov 2022, 17:18Has anyone got any suggestions on part-time jobs to go for?

indoors doing checkout/storage work.
