Need help.. Thinking of leaving!
I'm considering leaving Rm after 20 years service... Im 40 years old and can't seem me doing this job for the next 25-30 years... I have 2 weeks winter holiday to take in April that rolls straight into 3 weeks summer... If say I handed my notice in tomorrow could I leave straight away or would I need to work the 7 days notice period and what would I be entitled too? Thanks in advance.

Re: Need help.. Thinking of leaving!
The new holiday year starts in April so more info is required as to what holiday you have taken in this period.
1wks notice is all that’s required.
You can take holiday owed as notice, depending on a convo with your Manager.

Re: Need help.. Thinking of leaving!
I know, it's annoying that I cant hold off till April and have 5 weeks off to decide on what to do and organise other employment/training etc
.. But this job is seriously affecting my physical and mental wellbeing.

Re: Need help.. Thinking of leaving!
I was on annual leave the week just gone and handed my notice in last Sat.
1 week is all that's needed.
Good luck.

Re: Need help.. Thinking of leaving!
That in a nutshell comprises everything wrong with this company, add to that the abysmal management, with their lack of any empathy or leadership, the bullying and harassment that is still rife and the worsened and worsening terms and conditions you have a deadly mix , it’s not going to end well.MontyTodd wrote: ↑07 Jan 2024, 19:18Just leave mate, I quit on December the 8th, went sick the next week....So didn't bother going back into work or working my notice...I was Fu**ing Done, Had a Fu**ing gutfull of their Nonsense.

It's become a slaughter house now.. taken even more walks out, the walks are just impossible..
I feel trapped, and cannot get out. Maybe death is the only way out.. I dont know..

Re: Need help.. Thinking of leaving!
The jobs are impossible. Who's problem is that ? Are you paid to worry about that ? I leave a few streets one day then change to another few streets the next. The public get used to alternate days . Its what the business wants so it then becomes official policy. The problem is postmen who still have the mindset that they can complete as long as they run round and take short cuts. If they do the managers cut more jobs. Until the penny drops , you're like a hamster on a wheel , trapped.roadrunner bill wrote: ↑08 Jan 2024, 14:04It's become a slaughter house now.. taken even more walks out, the walks are just impossible..
