Re: What will you do if you leave?
DHL are currently advertising. They have good reviews online as an employer. Anyone have any experience with them or know what it’s like to work for them?

I will probably get a job at the employment tribunal.
Given the number of people on here who are apparently going to take RM to an ET, they will be snowed under with work.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Crap pay, unmanageable workloads. Self employed drivers have to have a van less than five years old so that also reduces what you can earn.amhopkins1 wrote: ↑02 Dec 2022, 18:33In what way?

Re: What will you do if you leave?
I'm handing my notice in this week! Almost 20 years service, I've got a job with a fellow parcel service company earning just under £29,300 a year, its NOT self employed and its Monday to Friday, yea its a couple of hours longer a day than RM (6:30am-4:30pm with an hour unpaid break, 45 hour contract) but I can now enjoy my weekends with the wife and kids

It's not unusual to see courier firms out still delivering at 9/10 pm some days, and you believe you'll be done by 4.30?

Re: What will you do if you leave?
I think for some of them thats a choice to work that late - although maybe an enforced choice - but technically they dont have to be out that late.

Re: What will you do if you leave?
Sounds attractive, which firm is it, I thought most had a 7 day operation these days ?fed_up_postie wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022, 12:16It's a contract of hours exactly like RM so I don't have to work past my finish time
Mind you don't think I've seen ups out and about at the weekends but I could be wrong

Re: What will you do if you leave?
always kinda liked the look of ups the vans are distinctive and there uniform is better than ours (they actually have one).no idea if there under huge amounts of pressure but ive spoke to a couple didnt seem rushed.
